Well, we should be putting him on a range of hands that has some% of marginal hands like AJ and some % of strong hands like 44/AQ and not many other hands really fit. We should have some general idea of how this guy plays also. If he's some huge clown that will show up with Ax a lot then we want all the money to go in; if he's going to play his range more appropriately and usually fold marginal hands to a barrel and stack off with AQ+ then we want to check or bet really small. If we want to continue to play our hand for value then we want to take as much money as possible from the weak part of his range. Betting 40$ looks really strong and leaves 50$ left in a pot of 134 so it's essentially like going all in. Notice that we only need to bet 12$ to set up a river pot sized shove, and that this line could be very confusing. In spots where your range is polarized and the weaker part of your opponents range has very little equity against your value range (this hand is not a perfect example of this but i think this is an important concept and an all right example), you should generally not be betting bigger than you need to in order to get all in without overbetting. I'd recommend betting no more than 20$ on this turn if you bet at all (this is very read dependent). Furthermore, betting 40 and not knowing what to do for 50$ more shows very little understanding of NLHE. You need to plan your hands and have an overall idea of what you are doing in every hand (bluffing, thin value betting, trying to get all in by the river, etc.) and sizing your bets accordingly.
