I wasn't sure if I should have bet the river for value in this case?

I had in mind "Small pots for small hands"...

iPoker - $0.04 NL - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

SB: $5.26
BB: $1.60
UTG: $0.90
UTG+1: $5.97
MP: $5.42
MP+1: $3.89
LP: $1.80
CO: $1.00
Hero (BTN): $2.12

SB posts SB $0.02, BB posts BB $0.04

Pre Flop: ($0.06) Hero has J♥ T♣

fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.16, SB calls $0.14, fold

Flop: ($0.36, 2 players) J♠ 9♦ 4♣
SB bets $0.27, Hero calls $0.27

Turn: ($0.90, 2 players) 5♣
SB checks, Hero checks

River: ($0.90, 2 players) 2♠
SB checks, Hero checks

Spoiler

SB shows A♥ K♥ (High Card, Ace) (Pre 65%, Flop 22%, Turn 14%)
Hero shows J♥ T♣ (One Pair, Jacks) (Pre 35%, Flop 78%, Turn 86%)
Hero wins $0.84

Hey,

You shouldn't have those thoughts in your mind, you should think about their ranges so I am confident he has worse Jx, 9x in his range so I think I valuebet the River all day long there a 45cent at the very least, you can start out ''small'' to see how he is calling so you get more experience in this

Best regards,
Gerv
