V stats 24/21/2 (68 hands)

Villain has been active lately, he has 3-bet me two to three times in about 2 orbits. I decided to 4-bet instead of playing OOP with a capped range, villain calls. What do you think of my 4-bet sizing? should it be larger?

PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 4 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG (Hero): $2.57 (129 bb)
BU: $3.69 (185 bb)
SB: $2.00 (100 bb)
BB: $2.00 (100 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is UTG with T T
Hero raises to $0.06, BTN 3-bets to $0.21, 2 players fold, Hero 4-bets to $0.52, BTN calls $0.31

Flop: ($1.07) 9 6 J (2 players)
Hero bets $0.26, BTN calls $0.26

Turn: ($1.59) T (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $0.51, Hero calls $0.51

River: ($2.61) 7 (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $1.28, Hero calls $1.28 (all-in)

On the flop I bet quarter pot because I am basically just trying to bet range and make some missed Ax fold like AK,AQ, maybe ATs. What do you think of the sizing? V calls.

On the turn the T gives us a set but KQ gets there, I was not sure if KQ would be in his range as I don't have a ton of experience in 4-bet pots, if it was I figured only the 4 suited combos would be in his range. I decide to check because I was not sure if I wanted to bet and face a raise, we could have gotten value possibly from slow played AA,KK,QQ and AJ. I did not want to raise and then not have the dicipline to fold , if V does raise I assume his range is JJ,KQs basically. and maybe the odd AQcc,AKcc. V bets 1/3 pot and I call. I was not quite sure about his betting range, I thought he may do this with his Ace-x trying to attack weakness or some of the hands I mentioned that I beat. River I decide to check again, if he is bluffing I would let him continue but at the same time if he is not I feel like I have less information and have to guess at this point. I know opponent's are typically under-bluffing rivers but with 4combos of KQs and 3 JJ I really thought he could barrel river as a bluff with broken club draw, AQ,AK etc.. or maybe he thinks AA,KK,QQ is still the best hand?

I'm c-betting flop bigger.
On the turn, when your hand improves, you have 2 choices left based on your stack size relative to the pot - shove or check-shove.

I think you've done a decent job estimating villains ranges (basically JJ+,AJs+,KQs,AQo+ is what I'd put him on). Against this range your set of tens is far ahead and I think he is calling you with a good chunk of it. (only really worried about 7/48 combos).

If you planning to 4bet like now out of position I would make it at least 3x with in mind villain can still call wide if you make it really small like now. As played i would Cbet flop around half pot and shove the turn for value and protection.

I think hand is fine played. I like the small cbet here. You have the range advantage all AA KK etc in your range. And on this board you have a somewhat good hand.

You can argue about just calling TT or 4betting. It makes sense if opponent is 3bet bluffing a lot, and folding to 4bet a lot. For standard ranges i think just callling is fine. But 4betting this hand sometimes is good too. I also think that the 4bet sizing is good. I would not go 3x here. I would never 4bet 3x unless i have the nuts and opponent is calling anyway.
As played you can just check/shove, makes the most sense to me. if you go check call check he can check behind worse hands. And on the river there are some bad runouts for TT here. I would just check/shove giving the potsize you cant fold anyway anymore. And opponent is calling you anyway.
