I'd make it a bit less preflop and fold if UTG 4bets. I guess it's ok to isolate the donk but I often just call JJ and below in this spot.

if UTG just calls and sb pushes all-in, i just gamble and shove preflop. Normally, i dont give unknowns too much credit if they show weakness and play weirdly in these situations. Also, i fold to UTG 4 bet for sure.

I'm confused how do you know this is mp2 a reg whom you played against months ago?
"You start the game with a full pot o’ luck and an empty pot o’ experience...
The object is to fill the pot of experience before you empty the pot of luck."

yeah I think $15 preflop and proceed from there is good if MP2 is awful. Can't fold to the SBs donkish line and getting it in vs the donk is what we want if he's as bad as you say

Donks are always FOS. MP2 called off with KTo and sb shoved with 55. He he, i dont even have to hit my set J to take down the pot.
