Was I right to fold in this spot??

My thoughts was its a split but because I didn't get information before the river I had to let it go.

Correct fold and for the right reasons. I'd only ever call here if I'd seen him do this several times before.

At this level you win by folding to sudden aggression, and value betting your big hands, as your second hand demonstrates.
