I see... It makes some sense to calculate villain's ev because their gain is our loss and vice versa. But for the sake of your own clarity of thought, I think you should always take the viewpoint of the hero. Here's how I would do the calculation, this time including the blinds.
Let's express our ev as a function of the probability everybody folds to the 3b:
4p + 1.5p - 12(1 - p) = ev
Then solve for the breakeven point (ev=0):
4p + 1.5p - 12(1 - p) = 0
5.5p - 12 + 12p = 0
5.5p + 12p = 12
17.5p = 12
p = 12/17.5
So our ev is 0 if everybody folds 68.6% of the time to our 3b.
