Hard to see the suits of the card but think you played the hand well. As you said, people at this stake don't 3 barrel bluff, I like your line.

This is a standard line.

As was already said 3 barrels is almost never a bluff below 100NL allowing you to get away from a lot of top pair hands without a difficult decision.

When we cold call we're often doing it with a plan to make a bluff raise later in the hand when we pick up pot equity and think villain will fold enough, but here with top pair there's no need. Villain will give up on his bluffs after the turn most of the time checking to you on the river so you can check behind.

I like your line. I'd need a solid reason to look the villain up on the river. I don't think call would be super terrible given the sizing and BvB spot but at NL20 it's most likely -EV especially when you know your opponent is on a tighter side.
