Fine until the river. Your stack size makes it difficult. With a full stack (Why aren't you playing with one btw?) I like a $5 blocking bet, because your hand has some showdown value. With these stacks... I check/fold unless he's a known bluffer. The way it went down it looks a lot like JT.

I think you bet too much the whole way. This is a scary board. There are no flush draws and the only str8 draw would be a gut shot therefore there is no need to bet so much with a mediocre hand. I would bet half the pot on the flop. On the turn I would either bet half the pot or revert to check-call mode. If my opponent bets any more than 1/2 the pot on the turn I would likely fold unless he was known to be very aggressive. I would then have to put them on AQ,KQ, or JT. Not many tight players are going to committ a lot of chips on this flop with only one pair.
