Yes position is that valuable and the initial call with 86o is fine (though I prefer suited). When you play better post-flop than your opponent, calling a PSR
in position is also fine; if stacks are deep enough and you have a real shot at getting his entire stack.
On the flop, if I added right villain bet $15 into a $90 pot and you have ~$320 left. This bet is clearly some kind of blocking bet, I would either just call, or raise it more than the min, probably to ~$55.
On the turn, as has already been said, I would be trying to figure out how to get the rest of his stack in the pot. As played, there is ~$200 in the pot (including your turn call) and you have ~$240 left. If he really did hit a set on the turn, you
DO NOT want to give him a river at his price. You have just a bit more than a PSB left (after calling the turn donk).
Ship it!
Oh and if he was making a play with J8, so be it. That's why they call it gambling.
