I don't think trying to get your opponents to fold draws is something you should aspire to do. The mistake people make is to call too much with draws, so the way you make money is by them paying you off if they shouldn't. Just don't assume that, if the draw completes by the River, that they can't have it because you've made it expensive. They can always have it. People love chasing draws, especially flushes.

That said, the way I personally would have played this is to bet half pot on the Flop (which would have made the Pot 68ct, assuming you still only get one caller), and then bet big on the Turn, probably slightly larger than the size of the pot. In general, I think people tend to go too small on the Turn. It's very rare that I bet a larger % of pot on the Flop vs. Turn, whereas 40%->90% or something is quite common. By calling the Flop, your opponent has announced that they have a hand, so charge them.

I would have also bet the River. Your opponent doesn't have to have the draw, they can also pay you with a T or a weaker J. And the draw missed, so they could put you on a busted draw that's bluffing the River.
