Super weak value bet even though it is top pair.

I wonder what you guys think of this value bet.  It was made totally based on a read of this guy.  He had been a total pay off wizard.  Calling weaker than you could imagine.  Example with a pair of queens no kicker on a  KQJT5 board with three diamonds.  My line here would be to check the river behind to most people but, with him I value bet and would have folded to a checkraise.  I will give him a little credit because I made some really stupid plays first couple of hands so that I gave him 500 chips as an xmas gift.  However, we did another game right after and he didn't adjust to me at all.      No Limit Holdem Tournament • 2 Players$10 + $0.50 Heads Up Sit & Go Hand converted by the official HUSNG.com hand converter BB-Galchonok-1470 SBHero1530  Effective Stacks: 74bb Blinds 10/20 Pre-Flop (30, 2 players) Hero is SB Hero raises to 50, -Galchonok- calls 30 Flop (100, 2 players) -Galchonok- checks, Hero bets 60, -Galchonok- calls 60 Turn (220, 2 players) -Galchonok- checks, Hero bets 120, -Galchonok- calls 120 River (460, 2 players) -Galchonok- checks, Hero bets 200, -Galchonok- calls 200 Final Pot: 860 -Galchonok- shows Hero shows two pair, Tens and Twos Hero wins 860 ( won +430 ) -Galchonok- lost -430

Pretty standard against a

Pretty standard against a station, this all comes down to the player as you say, would he call 3 streets with less, the answer here is obviously yes, second pair might be enough to do this with against this guy in fact.  On the flop he could be floating with anything, a spade draw comes up on the turn, he probably doesn't have a 2, he's not raising you so that's good, no brainer really in terms of betting it.  The only thing that you need to be thinking about is your sizing, this looks fine though, I like the 200 on the river, looks like a well played hand to me :)
