Betting with medium strength hands for protection...

CO: $71.38
BN: $25.33
SB: $25.10 (Hero)
BB: $28.39
UTG: $25
HJ: $25
Preflop ($0.35) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt 9 J J 9
UTG folds, HJ folds, CO folds, BN raises to $0.75, Hero raises to $2.40, BB calls $2.25, BN calls $1.75
Flop ($7.50) 8 4 3 (3 Players)
Hero bets $4.50, BB calls $4.50, BN folds
I bet here coz I think I have the best hand quite often here.
Turn ($16.50) 3 (2 Players)
Hero bets $15.80, BB calls $15.80
Now when V calls and not raise my flop bet, I think his range is ver weighted to a FD or even a straight draw. I dun think he just calls with 2p or a set. maybe an overpair with NFD that is so strong.When I bet the turn here, it commits me but my hand is not really strong here if he have a combo draw and the possibility of going up against a bigger over pair.
River ($48.10) T (2 Players)
Hero bets $2.30, BB calls $2.30
I go all in just in case he totally misses
Final Pot
Hero has 9 J J 9 BB has 6 5 9 7 BB wins $50.70

Im lost in situations like this where the board is very draw heavy and V plays passively indicating that he has draws often. The problem I face is, betting strong and committing bets with weak hands like top pair or overpairs.

Is it better to pot control because we are most likely only slightly ahead?
