I think this is very opponent dependent. If I am your opponent I am not going to call a $40 bet unless I am willing to play for my stack. A $40 bet would leave me with $30ish left in a $240 pot!

If I was going to slow play and try to slowly pot commit the player I would bet $30ish or less. He has $67 and you have 2 rounds of betting to get his stack into the middle so bet less then 1/2 his stack now then a little more then 1/2 his stack on the river when the pot will be too big for him to fold.

I think that getting the max is also very board specific. On the example board there are very few draws that haven’t completed so I don’t mind slow playing a little. However if the board was more draw-tastic then I would push because you don’t want people drawing cheaply and nobody is bad enough to call a large river bet with a busted draw but they may call a large turn bet drawing very thin.
