Thoughts on whats best to do here? Stack dependant? Peeling? 4 Betting? Folding?

Stack dependant? I should hope so!

I'm not sure I want to 4b because we will end up committing ourselves vs OR and won't be in great shape at all vs his 5b'ing range.  I'm between flat or fold and it's entirely dependant on the OR.  If I think I'm going to be able to see a flop most of the time then I would 100% flat, if the raiser is a complete basket case and has any sort of tendency to start windmilling chips about pre then just fold.

You got about twice the chips of most people at the table so not liking entering pots in passive fashion esp with various players behind including opener. 4bet seems a bit strong early doors so ok about fold I guess.

If we should fold what everyone says then we should basically 3bet every hand as luvlust! No wonder poker is so easy :)
