Default Middle pair OOP - what\'s standard?

This is a fairly standard situation - just wondering what people consider the default vs a decent but not outstanding player.

Hero is in the SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img],9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

1 limper, villian limps in LP, Hero calls, BB checks.

Flop is T94 rainbow.
Hero bets, 2 folds, villian calls.

What's the plan from here? I know this is a pretty standard situation, so I really don't mind 2-4 word answers. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

bet turn no matter what.

probably fold to a raise, especially if turn is an A or K but this is player dependent

too many variables to discuss river yet

Agreed betting the turn no matter what, and I did. The river's more what I'm curious about.
In this situation the turn paired the bottom card, and he called again. He's not one to call with absolutely nothing, so at this point I'm starting to wonder what he could be calling with..

Anyway, I guess this is a question I could answer myself.
Decent player here has one of a pair (piece of the board or pocket), straight draw, or A high (after he calls the turn).

So just have to look at the chances of each of those, and compare those I beat to those I don't. Then considering those he could bet/call/raise with on the river, decide whether to bet or c/c. Don't think it's going to be a fold or cr.. although I suppose the latter is possible.

And I will indeed do that, but not tonight. You can likely look forward to it tomorrow (unless some bored pokerer beats me to it. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )
