Hey Alphamonkey,
Probably shoving and folding have similar EV. Shoving can easily be slightly -EV vs some opponents which would make the 0EV option of folding stronger.
I suspect that theoretically correct play can be to flat 4bet here and hope the flop either slows down villain, allows us to find an easy fold or we flop a set/equity. I have no real issues with just folding by default however, flat vs 4bet-squeeze can be tough without any reads whatsoever.
