Folding second pair with a strong kicker to a small bet on a monotone board is a significant mistake given the excellent pot odds.

Flop Analysis

Folding here is a massive over-fold. While the monotone Ace-high texture is intimidating, our hand is far too strong to muck against a small 1/3 pot sizing.

Note: Folding second pair to a small bet is a significant error; we have 46% equity and only need 20% to call profitably.
