So he missed the flop, didn't hit the 4 on the turn, and the river is another 4, making me think that I have the best hand. I doubt that he is going to call there with Ace or King high, therefore I have the best hand and bet it out... If he has a small pair, and plays it the same way, he probably calls me, but he still might be afraid me making trips on the river. So I think it's definately +EV to bet out on the river like I did.

I guess the real question is - What hands that you can beat would you expect him to call with? From my perspective, if you feel like you have the best hand (i.e. he doesn'thave an A, K or have paired the board) then why would he call any bet from you? Are you betting this because there is still a slight chance that he has an A, K, or smallish pair and would let either of these go against your bet? If so I am more comfortable with the bet, however I personally would just check this down unless I was pretty certain he had an A, K or small pair and would lay them down to the bet.

What does a 90 chip bet accomplish that a 45-55 bet wouldn't? Keep in mind that this tourney included all solid players (I can see this overbet in a regolar SNG).
