SB: $1.56 (78 bb)
BB: $3.39 (169.5 bb)
UTG: $2.34 (117 bb)
Hero (MP): $2.09 (104.5 bb)
CO: $3.53 (176.5 bb)
BTN: $2.03 (101.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A♠: T♥:
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.06, CO folds, BTN calls $0.06, SB folds, BB calls $0.04

standart open raise
Flop: ($0.19) 8♣: T♠: 3♥: (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.12, BTN calls $0.12, BB folds

nice flop, c-bet vs 2 players should be fine here, I bet 2/3 pot, maybe too large?
Turn: ($0.43) 6♥: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.42, BTN calls $0.42

we got a caller ant I think this card doesn't change anything so I continue betting big. Thought he might have a draw or mid pair that he can't fold or something like KT so i bet pot-size to get even more value. Is this reasonable?
River: ($1.27) 9♠: (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $1.22, Hero calls $1.22

the 9 isnt that good and he called the tur so I think he might hit his draw or is still not folding QT, KT something like that. He shoves and reviewing the hand I think I should have folded. What's your opinions on that? Call/fold?

Results:

Spoiler

$3.71 pot ($0.13 rake)
Final Board: 8♣: T♠: 3♥: 6♥: 9♠:
Hero mucked A♠: T♥: and lost (-$1.82 net)
BTN showed 3♠: 3♣: and won $3.58 ($1.76 net)

Multiway you usually have better fold equity because you look a lot stronger, you could bet slightly smaller and the effect would be the same. OTT I would go with a bit smaller bet also because otherwise you just isolate yourself against too strong range. OTR I don't like check calling that much. A small block bet and fold vs raise might be good, that way you get value from some mid pairs that called OTT.

I'm with La55i - I think I would bet/fold the river small as I don't like that river card, but there are still weaker pairs that may call.
