Easy fold as played, and I don't dislike your play too much, but I don't see what you have against the check turn call river line.

Weird over bet of the BB on the flop and it’s even weirder he’s checking the turn, but I would most likely check the turn behind. I don’t think you get value with betting and changing your hand in a bluff isn’t working on NL2 to often I think. Now it’s an easy fold for sure on his check/raise.

It is okay. But bet a little smaller on turn and save 5 bb off that bet. The extra bb serve no purpose at all. Naturally you'd check back every river.

You should also get over that "I don't like checking my weak hand because I might get bluffed at later feeling". First off, he isn't dead certain to bluff. You also have 5 outs to hit a J/8 that might help you. In other words, cross that bridge when you come to it.

I think you can either go for the check back or bet yourself but in this case you should bet smaller. If he was to fold to a king he wpuld do it with a bet of 15bb or 10bb.

Its easy fold to raise on turn, but real question is "do we have bet on turn?". I prefer xback here, we dont have sure value bet, we dont need protection. I think we can be better/even after his weird pot bet on flop but we dont need to put more money in this spot if he keeps going to bet. Remember, you are in three-way spot OTF.
I will play this spot x/c F, x/f T, x/f R. We can win at showdown against some 87 or 98, maybe some random bluffs but i am not sure he bets here these hands twice.

One thing: It's always better to first consider your whole range, than just a single hand.

How strong is your hand, given other 8x combos, and 99+ ?
What types of hands will call your turnbet?
Are there any draws we beat?

Do you try use line bet-check-bet as bluff? Do you know how other players play vs this line? I just asking, maybe it can be good line as bluff, if players percieve it as "never bluff here" spot.

I agree with him, and all my friends say it often : bet-check-bet is never a bluff.
I tried to implement it as a bluff myself because of that but it's not working that much, I don't recommend it
