Hero and villian, playing TAG. Was this a tight fold? Maybe flatting pre? I just didn't want to call then fold a bad flop.

How agressive is villain? Will he be cbetting 100% in a 4bet pot?
How many hands do u have on villain to consider him a "TAG"?
I am only folding this if I have a really accurate read on villain that he is very nitty.

If called, you can hit an Ace, a King, or a combination of flush/straight draws in which you will be getting your stack in.

Basically the reason for calling, (if he is not a super nit) is to hit any part of the board and get stacks in.

EDIT: Also, in a situation like this, it is very nice to know villains 4bet%

Yeah, against a decent villain this is fine. I feel like a smallish 4-bet like that (as opposed to a shove) is more likely to be AA/KK, whereas JJ/TT or the like would shove and maybe make you fold QQ-TT. There's a lot of coin flips and chops here, but there's also AA/KK which dominate you, and it's very unlikely that villain has AQ/AJ or anything else you dominate.
