Flop monster draw OOP raise or call vs reg

Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 (5 Players) BB: $7.62
UTG: $9.90
CO: $10.47 (Hero)
BN: $11.28
SB: $3.90
Preflop ($0.15) Hero is CO with 9 8
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.24, BN calls $0.24, 2 folds
Flop ($0.63) J T J
Hero bets $0.42, BN raises to $1.80, Hero calls $1.38

Pre is standard, reg calls from BU (22-suited broadways)
Flop bet is standard, when he raises that big it is almost always like Jx.
So I decided to call for several reasons:
We are prob behind vs his raise.
He is most likely willing to stack off.
And if I raise back he may blocks a lot of staight outs like QJ which gives him a full house, maybe some AQs
I called because it allows me to realize my EQ, and prob check\fold non spade or non Q,7 turn.

Any ideas?

I like the line since you don't want to raise and get it in against a better hand, better combo draw, better flush draw or even better straight draw. You want to keep is bluffing range in so you call. Maybe a check-call on this flop is not bad since its a board that can be raised easily with a wide range.
