Villain is a pretty decent TAG, about 24.5/14/3 over 575 hands. Haven't seen him do anything like this before. I felt good about the fold at the time, since I didn't see him doing this with anything I beat, but feel sick about it now. Maybe it's because I'm running absolutely horribly lately, maybe it's because I got so pissed after this fold that I stacked off with top pair a few hands later, but I really wish I had called now. Was this a good fold or no? Should I be check-raising that turn?

Wow, what a weird line by a TAG. If he hasn't done this before I probably fold and make some kind of note of this.

I don't like your turn check though, I'd lead turn for 5 all day.

I will fold this hand PF. I think your fold on the river is good. There's no way that you're ahead here enough to call the massive push. He checked on the flop which he'd probably do with KQ, AQ, 44.

Same here, OOP vs PF raise with a hand like QJ where there is a high risk of domination = fold PF.

As played villains line is obviously a monster. Tags with an AF of 3 are usually Cbeting this flop, he doesn't want to lose you. the turn bet screams "please call me" and that river push is for value, he has you crushed. 44 or AQ. You made a good fold.

Fold PF. I would either lead the flop or c/r it. Given that you didn't, I would lead the turn.
