Default J8 blind battle, I play turn to weak?

Villan is a reasonable player, 37% preflop or so, aggressive, but not ridiculous. I think his range of raisers here are Ax, any pp, K9s+
I am wondering if my turn check behind sucks, or if we like it because it induces possible river bluff.

it seems fine, gettin check-raised here would kinda suck so maybe its best to avoid it and perhaps induce a bluff?

Turn is perfectly played. This is a small pot. If villain does not have an A he is drawing slim on the river. You give him the opportunity to bluff at you if he didn't have an A and saved 1BB if he did.

You'd be shocked at how many times villain will turn over KJ or some other junk here.
