Both villain seems standard. I don't see them do anything out of the line.

Hero checks, BB bets $2, Hero calls $2.

Final Pot: $8.30

Two questions...
1. When there are two callers behind and when I miss the flop, I guess it's a good time NOT to cbet?
2. Should I fold the River? The only hand that villain would possibily bet on this spot that I beat is AK.

I'd raise more PF, to about .80$. I like the rest of it. I think I'd call the river after showing such weakness on the turn and river. You've only got to win 25% of the time. I think he'll be betting QT/KQ/maybe AK/air enough of the time to make it break even.

Is there a particular reason to raise to $0.8 PF? I was following (4xBB +1xBB/limper) rule.

Usually adding a BB or two when betting out of the blinds is pretty standard. You want to take the hand down early to minimize your positional disadvantage and to limit the amount of callers (raising this hand out of the blinds and getting more than one caller is usually disastrous).

Ah. ic...

So, so since I get two callers behind me, should I not cbet the Flop?

Your line is fine here, you gave villian bluff equity to stab a few weaker hands and cant let it go now that you have those odds being laid out for you, I dont mind the C-bet into just to players when the board comes JJ9 like this, they will fold often enough to make it the right play coupled with the value it adds in disguising your hands in future endeavors, turn check is good, river call also good, dont be surprised if you are beat, and dont be surprised if you win...
