Why did Hero fold?

You have to estimate your equity on the flop here. Against a typical open raise range from CO you have like shown above only about 23%.
The flop has two face cards and is 2-suited. The pot is also small. Therefore a fold is the best decision here.
Against a flop without high cards you can call down here or even check-raise the flop.
