Villain is your typical station, running 50/6/0.5. Haven't seen him get out of line, and he wasn't donk betting much.

BB checks, Hero checks

Pot Size: $2.33 ($0.10 Rake)

I'm raising the flop to gain info and get value of course. Donk bet by him + call lets me know he likes his hand but it's probably not something amazing or he'd possibly raise.

Not the best turn card ever for me, still I fire away (if he's sitting on 89/2 pair/set we should get an idea from his reaction to my turn bet).

Ok he just calls, then checks the river. I don't like the river card too much TBH. It completes a lot of weird draws.

I assumed he wouldn't call a river bet with a bad jack here, because even stations can sometimes find a fold when the pot gets this deep, but anything greater than 1 pair would check raise my face off.

Should I be betting it anyways? What about the other streets -- good?

I think your ahead here up to 75% of the time at this level - value bet for sure, 1/2 pot expecting to see KJ. Other streets look great.

He seems that passive and this is 2NL that it's same if you bet 1/2pot or full pot he's calling with any jack anyways.
