Folding Pocket Tens Pre to a 4-bet

Game is live 1/3 NLHE "bonus" which in this room means you can match the highest stack.
We are $500 effective (villain) who I cover.
Villain is a young LAG who via table talk demonstrates he knows GTO, combos, blockers, and using solvers, etc...so his image is a tough, solid yet creative, thinking player.
Hero is middle aged with a decent reputation as TAG who makes fewer mistakes than most.
I may be worse than that...but that is my image.
I have some recent history with the villain...I have seen him 4-bet with air, and he has stacked me when he had AA vs my KK. He also saw me get stacked by a very loose gambly recreational moneyed guy who also showed up with AA vs. my KK. I have seen the gambly guy 4-bet with any pair a dozen times in the past.
Anyway..my point is the villain knows I may at this point in the session be a little tilted (the loss avoidance variety of tilt).
The hand....I am in the SB with

Villain is UTG, who raises to $10. Three players call, so pot is $43. I 3-bet to $80.
Villain 4-bets to $205. Everyone folds....including me.
Did I level myself into a fold based on recent run bad/coolers? Against most players, is folding the tens standard?
Thanks for all thoughts. By the way, he never showed but later when I racked my chips to leave I asked him if he "had it"....I think his answer was BS just to exploit me in a later session...I will post his answer later.

I'm folding in this spot. Unless you hit a set, pocket tens is not going to stand up to a ton of pressure in a 4-bet pot regardless of the flop. How do you feel about playing for stacks without a set after the flop? I wouldn't feel good at all.
That's my instant reaction. Thinking about it after that reaction, I still think you fold here. How often would you say he is 4-betting? And how often with air? Given that he is the pre-flop raiser UTG, I would lean toward him having a stronger hand, to open it UTG.
I haven't played enough against the villain to answer that with confidence. At this point he is more a type of player to me.... similar to many young competent 2/5 players in my experience....so only guessing he makes that move with only top of his range maybe 65-75% of time.... and bottom part especially medium suited connector type hands the remainder of time. As far as his 4-bet frequency I would say highest at the table.
In the moment I was thinking...if he knows I am either near the top of my range, or squeezing (which I do maybe enough to be noticed).... and he is holding QQ-AA... I assumed he would've just flatted to keep me in. This is why I posted this hand. I can't stop thinking he was exploiting me based on my recent history... against him and the gambly player.
I think in this situation given that he:
a) Open raised
b) Did so knowing he was going to be OOP
c) Came over the top of your raise
signals that he is going to have a fairly strong hand a very large proportion of the time.
I wouldn't even have thought about this too too long.
(I also probably don't have 10s in my 3-betting range facing a tough V open raising UTG. I'd probably try to see this cheap, try to mine a set and be willing to press the fold button to a C-bet if I missed and the board was scary. But then again, that may not be the best play either).
