Hello,

Villain is basically unknown 10 hands with 10/10 stats.

I think the hand is pretty standard just I´m curious what river sizing would you recommend (but also any other tips if you think I missplayed something). My reasoning for river sizing was, that 1/2 is like please call me but really not sure about it.

Party, $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $10.33 (103.3 bb)
BB: $12.26 (122.6 bb)
UTG: $12.01 (120.1 bb)
MP: $31.53 (315.3 bb)
CO: $5.10 (51 bb)
Hero (BTN): $10.86 (108.6 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with A Q
3 folds, Hero raises to $0.20, SB raises to $0.70, BB folds, Hero calls $0.50

Flop: ($1.50) 4 9 5 (2 players)
SB bets $1, Hero calls $1

Turn: ($3.50) K (2 players)
SB bets $1.70, Hero calls $1.70

River: ($6.90) T (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $4.37, SB folds

Results:

Spoiler

$6.90 pot ($0.34 rake)
Final Board: 4 9 5 K T
SB mucked and lost (-$3.40 net)
Hero mucked A Q and won $6.56 ($3.16 net)

I prefer 1/2 as in spite of the 3 bet pot villain will be scared of the flush.

With checking the river, he probably shows that isn't completely sure into the strenght of his hand, so I think he usually won't call much more than 1/2 and maybe we could even make it a bit smaller, not sure.

We have a nice draw, villain is active, why not give him the opportunity to bet himself?

We're flipping against a range of TT+ so I'd be happy enough with raising the flop and getting it in.

As played, smaller river bet like everyone says. If he calls a $4 bet 10% of the time but a $1 bet 75% of the time, the much smaller bet is nearly twice as profitable. I would have bet around 1/3 pot here.
