However, if you think this guy is decent there is absolutely nothing to be gained by betting the river. He can't bluff because there's a player all in, and if he's decent he knows this. Also, if he's decent, he won't be paying off a set of tens with a weaker hand anyhow (the only possibly exception is if he's drawing to a flush and the turn backed him into 2 pair). A small bet isn't too bad as a "blocker", though, but as I say it's probably a bit of a waste as you'll only lose it to a better hand or he'll fold a weaker one.
If it's heads up (i.e. no all-in player) then the situation is different and I like your bet a lot more; I would probably make it something like $15-20 just to announce that this isn't a hand he can bluff on.
