Villain just sat down. Over 15 hands he is 30/20/7. Can I make a case for ever folding this pre or do I make the right play by taking a flop against an unknown.

I think the equity at the bottom says it all. You are 50/50 and getting way better than 50-50 odds. Even if he has the overpair, which is worst-case scenario besides maybe a set of 10s, you've got a decent number of outs. And there's always a decent chance your overpair is good.

Whatever you do, don't flat-call. At that point, most of your stack will already be in and you aren't drawing to anything, so use what little fold equity you might have.

Have you seen opponent go to showdown yet? Any reads on if he favors connectors? double barrels? Given the equity I call here and see what the turn brings.

I was in a situation very similiar to this recently. After he makes the 4bet pre I think you need to make a commit decision right then and there if your going to put in almost a 1/3 of your stack. Against someone with those stats with a larger sample size I think I might stick it in there. With a small sample size like you have I think I would probably give him credit for a typical 10nl players 4betting range of KK+ AK, where you are way behind or slightly ahead. On the flop I cant really see any hands that you beat that 4bets you preflop out of position other than maybe AK, assuming he plays AK that way. If you widen his preflop 4 betting range to 1010+, AK your pretty much behind his entire range for the most part.
