You were 80%-20% favorite after flop. The $8.5 bet on the flop was a little too weak. Still gave him bad odds to chase gutshot but I would have bet a pot of posibly put him all in and let him make a tough desicion. Once 2nd face card I would be more carefull because of KQ posibility rather than straight.

80-20% is about right on the flop. He didn't even have a gutshot draw yet...he was totally calling here either thinking his T was good or looking for another T/J. His call on the flop was horrendous, given that he just joined the table and couldn't possibly have a read on you telling him that you're bluffing.
On the turn he developed to an OESD. He's now got 9 outs (2 Ts, 3 As, 4 9s), though he'd think he has 10 outs. That leaves him with 20% chance to make it on the river. Even here your small bet gives him incorrect odds, though only barely (and infact his 10 odds calculation make this a good call).
I do agree that bigger bets would have been better, but largely because he never had the odds to call you to begin with...getting your money in faster when ahead and when being called is typically a good thing.
