Weak line?

[shook ones]

No hand history, Villian just sat down a few orbits ago, I have never played with him before so no reads. $.5/1 Villian has $106 and I cover. Villian is on button and I'm in the small blind with two black nines. Folded to button who raises to $4, I reraise to 16, villian calls pretty quickly. anyone just call here and take a flop?

Flop- 8 8 6 rainbow, flop goes check check, should I have just led out here after reraising pre flop? turn is a 2, I check called 25. River was a 5 went check check. I know I lost value in this hand but wasn't sure the best way to play it. Thoughts?
