PokerStars - 10/20 NL (2 max) - Holdem - 2 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 500
Hero (SB): 500

Hero posts SB 10, BB posts BB 20

Pre Flop: (pot: 30) Hero has T♦ A♦

Hero raises to 40, BB calls 20

Flop: (80, 2 players) 9♥ 7♣ 4♠
BB bets 20, Hero calls 20

Turn: (120, 2 players) 5♥
BB bets 20, Hero calls 20

River: (160, 2 players) T♠
BB checks, Hero bets 90, BB calls 90

Usually I bet half pot as a "standard" here. But I have just realized, that I might be losing value.

Although, I don't want to bet more than 100, as that seems like a psychological threshold to me.

So could've bet like 99 chips here. What do you guys think?

And turn should be fine. I might still have the best hand, plus I got two overs, which should equal about 12 % equity. And I am calling 20 to 160 = 12.5 %. So it should be fine.

You're betting with "just top pair" OTR, and your standard seems proper -- about 1/2 pot, and you stretched it a bit.

Just out of curiosity, what is your plan here if BB raises?
If you're going to call, then any amount is fine, but you're more likely to get called with the 1/2 pot.
If you're going to play the river as bet/fold, then slightly less might be wise.

Too big and he folds his worse hands.

His range does look pretty weak with min donk bets so I think 90-120 seems fine.

I am bet/folding river, unless I have a very strong hand. Because people don't usually bluff raise river.

After his weak min donk bets, I don't expect to get raised otr very often.

Will try to bet slightly more and see how it goes.
