A check here is worth seeing it or even a blocking bet at maybe $0.50. He folds you're good. He calls, it cost you little to see his hand. He raises and it's auto fold.

You cant make a blocking bet in position. A blocking bet is when you make a bet becuase you think itll likely get called and not raised and be cheaper than check/calling. If you are worried about his hand or just want to see it for a cheap showdown, then check behind. If you think you are ahead and wont get checkraised, then bet more for value.

You made mistakes on the flop, turn, and river. You might of had it already on the flop unless he was holding AK, but with no PFRaise, he'll figure that out easily. That's why on JTs on BB, I will PFR to avoid loose limpers.
He had JTo, and either way with 5 other people in the pot you dont want to isolate with a suited [or unsuited] connector, especially OOP. Suited connecters do well in multi-way pots, you want all of those people in it, because your implied odds go through the roof and it is unlikely that you are dominated. With a pocket pair or a hand like AQ you want to raise to drive out other hands, like suited connectors. Im oversimplifying this, but out of the blinds I dont think its a good play to raise with a connecter with the intention of pushing limpers out.
