Laying down TPTK is not easy. But, your $10 bet was a good "bet for information". He replied. You needed to pay attention to the reply.

Second hand is a bad beat followed by a misplay. You gave him very poor odds on making his 9 outs, but he made it. Now you need to fold.

A LAG player will win alot of pots. My brother-in-law says he win 20% of
pots he sees the flop on - but he still loses money because some poor player or some TAG player will eventually catch you.

A TAG wins very few pots but these pots are large and make up for all
his folds.
good point .. usually players wont reraise the preflop raiser unless he caught something strong.
