I'm looking for spots to get more aggressive and stop giving up on pots so easily. 2nd orbit at the table so no real reads. Turn seemed like a good 2 barrel card, but this guy called pretty quick. On the river I was hoping to get him to fold 33,66-99, a 10, and I guess A4cc if he happened to call with that and spike a pair on the river. Figure he would have raised either the flop or turn with a 5 given that there's a flush draw on board, and couldn't really give him credit for a big hand. Am I better off just checking and hoping he has a missed flush draw? How's my bet sizing?

Well... I think that he is not folding any hands that you beat. If he has a 5 he will raise your river (when played like you did), he will call if he has the 10 or the K.
If his flushdraw is busted the pot is yours anyway.

So I dont see him folding out any better hand, and not calling with worse. (like A high)

I think it'd would be better to bet closer to pot on the turn and give up if called.

turn and river bets are on the small size. Make the same sized bets as if you had TT.

he is never folding a T here ever. the K chops any other T except AT

I like the 2nd barrel on the turn, but your bet size needs to be a bit larger. Once called on the turn though, i'd just check through the river. You don't have a very much showdown value, but at least you have a pair and you beat some random flush draw like JQc. I'd just take the free showdown.
