I get called by SB we go heads up. flop he checks I bet 1/3 he calls. The turn is 4s and villain decides to lead for slightly under half pot. This is where I get confused because it seems some players do this with marginal made hands while others will do it with a premium hand. the 4 should not really help much besides pocket 4's. I come to the conclusion its likely a marginal hand, draw or weaker Ace and raise for value, Villain 4-bets .. the call seemed tempting because of the pot odds but I think his range is screaming strength like a set or slow-played two pair so I fold. Thoughts?

I would most likely just call the turn. it will be tough to get action of weaker with a raise and you don't want to blow up the pot if villain would decide to 3bet like now.
