Default Getting donk bet by a TAG

This guy is an overly tight TAG (20/12/2 type.) I don't have much on him besides his stats. He limped a mid pp UTG earlier and then donk bet a set on the flop after being raised pre-flop.

PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (6 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (8 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, UTG folds, Hero calls, SB folds.

Turn: (5 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero calls.

River: (7 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 7 BB

What do you think a flop donk means from a guy like this? I called the turn because I expected him to give up on the river quite a bit and I thought my outs were likely good if he had a small pair, for example.

I almost never give them credit for a hand on a flop like this. I'm thinking it's a draw. Whether it is or not, you've gotta peel right? Why would he donk a made straight? Eh, I'm tired due to jet lag but I think I would've played it the same. The turn's the big question on this one though, right?

Fold the turn, but I'd prob. fold the flop with a guy to act.

I can find a fold on this turn imo...Your getting like 6-1 which is close if all 6 outs are good, but on that draw heavy board, I dont think you can count the 6 full outs.

With the sb calling your raise and the UTG in the hand, the BB was effectively getting 7-1 to call which means his range in general will be wider than normal.

I fold flop.I donīt like players like him betting into me and having one player acting behind me.
You probably donīt have 6 outs on average either since a donk by a good tight player often seems to indicate a really good hand trying to provoke some action.
Also RIO involved since you often lose more bets than him when you are behind than you will win when you hit a "lucky" turn.
Next time he donks I call down all the way though.

I questioned every street.

The flop I thought was okay though because the table was fairly loose and passive so I wasn't that worried about getting raised.

The turn I explained.

He had a long pause on the river before betting. I read that as a set. Like I said, he donk bet a set before on an A high board. I guess that answers my own question. I should probably just fold the turn against level 1 thinking TAGs.

This isn't HU, BB is leading the flop into 4 players. I think just folding the flop is best here. Reverse domination is a pretty big issue on flops like this and you really shouldn't be showing down AJ UI on this board.

If SB is aggro flop peel is questionable at best. If he is passive I am fine with it.

I muck the turn thinking my hand is never good.
