Likely too loose given that

Likely too loose given that he's only 3bet about 15% of the time he's been given the opportunity to (using poker stove, which is OK for estimating this kind of situation, it means you have about 42% equity against his estimated range, which of course is subject to some error but it gives us an idea of the situation).  I believe you need about 47% equity to call here too, so unless you have a lot of ideas on how to steal pots where you're behind postflop, it's likely better to just fold preflop here (or obviously some knowledge that he's 3betting hands other than strong hands here, IE if he's 3betting bottom 10% and top 5%, that would likely change this situation drastically).Flop is of course standard.
