Is this what is called a blocking bet? Because that is what I wanted it to be. I think if I check he might shove, and I also think I might not be ahead, but I don't want to call his shove. So is this a good bet or what?

Have like 10 hands on villain

 I think that's fine, you can get called with worse and your not calling a shove. I might make a 1/2 psb on river just so I don't induce a bluff shove.

 I'll probably bet more on river since I'm looking for value vs worse pairs.

Rule of thumb: Standard with top pair vs donkeys (10nl) is bet/bet/bet for value. There are a number of factors that alter that, but I don't think they apply here.
