Once again I think you played fairly well. Betting the flop is your best move here, since you have the set and everyone checked it to you. I would be worried about not having a kicker, but it seems noone else does either. I think anyone calling this flop either has the other J or is stupidly chasing a straight or flush. Since the turn made neither a straight or flush, when BB bets, I would figure him for J6. I may be tempted to fold here, given the fact that I have no kicker and BB likely has a boat. That being said, just call on the river.

am I wrong to think he would have bet the flop himself with a set of jacks?)...

He may not have bet the flop for a couple of reasons. First, he is out of position, and second, he too has no kicker. He could be worried about drawing dead to a J9. Once he bets on the turn, a J9 would have raised him, so now he is likely to know his boat is good, especially when an undercard hits the river.

I can see going either way here on the flop for him. I probably would have went ahead and bet, but thats just me. HTH.
