But this is a little different due to dynamics. we're playing 1/2/5 here by a 2/5 reg who is annoyed. there is a good portion of his range where he is trying to blow a normal 1/2 player off a hand he is likely flipping with due to initial bet sizing. 3x in a straddle in MP seems weak. But more importantly raising to $45 is something a lot of 2/5 regs will do in a regular 2/5 game to ISO. However, considering it folded to V, you do need to be weary he might just have a stronger hand.
if you dont have a lot of history on the player/good read, you can always opt to fold as many mention to play cautiously. But I wouldnt necessarily say this is an instant fold. Calling is not an option as others mention. So you need to decide on either shipping or folding. (do not 4! to 110 -- your raise if you choose to play is to play for stacks.)
It's close. If I had TT/JJ this is closer to a shove against a random annoyed v.
