100NL UTG 8h7h, check/raise Jh9c6h J 2 check/call check/fold turn river

SB: $22
BB: $100
UTG: $100 (Hero)
LJ: $96.17
HJ: $162.58
CO: $51.38
BN: $146.38
Villain VPIP is 66% with no preflop aggression whatsoever. He seems to slowplay on dry textures then bet pot on later streets.
Preflop ($1.50) (7 Players)
Hero was dealt 8 7
Hero raises to $2.62, LJ calls $2.62, HJ folds, CO folds, BN calls $2.62, SB folds, BB folds
Not in my standard opening range for UTG but the table was playing very passive pre- and not really fighting for pots postflop.
Flop ($9.36) J 9 6 (3 Players)
Hero checks, LJ bets $4, BN folds, Hero raises to $14, LJ calls $10
I don't have too many hands that like this flop in my UTG range. I decide to check and decide.. when villain bets under 1/2 pot on this very draw heavy board it usually means he is weak, so i do check/raise however i don't think i have a good plan for later streets as his weak bet indicates maybe a draw himself so some of my outs might not be so good ie. he can have KhQh/KcQc or wider with a bare KQ and my flush draw might be dominated.
Turn ($37.36) J (2 Players)
Hero checks, LJ bets $10, Hero calls $10
I don't know if this card helps me or not. if villain is drawing i could bet big here and get him to ofld, but if he did bet with Jx or better of course he has improved (and is not folding) and i might be drawing dead.
River ($57.36) 2 (2 Players)
Hero checks, LJ bets $10, Hero folds
Final Pot
LJ wins $54.50

It feels wrong to raise a hand like 8h7h (deceptive for my position and usual range) flop 'well' and then play it weak but i'm really lost here as villain seems to get to the river frequently. so if i'm betting twice and checking it would be a mistake versus him
