How do you think I played this vs an unknown zoomer? I am semibluffing way less now, but I had to do it here. Is this a good spot or is this an example of me burning monies?

Its decent bluff. After xback on flop he can have a lot of naked aces and broadways and he may fold those to bigger bet. Your T9s is obviously behind that range and you benefit a lot from folding those hands. As for river - I prefer blockbet as I dont think there is big merit in check/calling.

Turn bluff seems fine, but after hitting your 9 you have decent showdown value and it will be tough to get to many better hands to fold.
