 Villain in this hand was simply your average villain. Not too cautious nor too eager. First time I tangled with him. I have been running the table over with smallish bets and raises all game long, have not been caught with the hands in the cookie jar.
Your play? Also, how did I do?

Personally I'd just dump this from UTG, even with the big stack. If blinds were 200/400 and it was the bubble I would just shove it though.

As played, why not just shove over on the flop? You likely have at least 12 outs on this flop so you're 50/50 at worst if you're called, and I'd imagine you have a huge amount of FE here.

Once you hit your draw on the turn, why not just shove it? Worse hands will definitely call.

As you played the flop and turn, I guess calling the river is correct, opp's line is just so strange that I'm not sure where you are here but you can't turn down better than 4:1 pot odds with the third best flush.

Why would you mess with a hand like this from UTG and also minraise it? You have a nice stack and J8 seems a bit raggedy. I am not being judgumental (I am a beginner anyway) I am trying to understand the reasoning.
I agree with taipan or the rest.

 you have the nuts and a bad image, raise everywhere. On the flop he's almost never leading a 7 or 9x and would probably have 3 bet pre with a bigger PP so usually he'll have like 66 and you're ahead. From there I'm not sure what you're doing but pay off a better hand all the time and don't even think about it.
