SB: $5.50 (110 bb)
Hero (BB): $9.51 (190.2 bb)
UTG: $3.80 (76 bb)
MP: $5 (100 bb)
CO: $6.40 (128 bb)
BTN: $5.84 (116.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J♣: K♥:
3 folds, BTN raises to $0.15, SB folds, Hero raises to $0.47, BTN calls $0.32

better call this or is a 3b fine?

Flop: ($0.96) T♥: K♣: 2♣: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.46, BTN calls $0.46

standart contibet I guess

Turn: ($1.88) 5♥: (2 players)
Hero bets $1.20, BTN calls $1.20

board is getting more drawy, I bet bigger - good sizing?

River: ($4.28) J♦: (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $3.71 and is all-in, Hero calls $3.71

river gives me the 2 pair but straights appear as well...should I better bet/fold to a raise here or check/call or even check/fold?

Results:

Spoiler

$11.70 pot ($0.49 rake)
Final Board: T♥: K♣: 2♣: 5♥: J♦:
Hero showed J♣: K♥: and lost (-$5.84 net)
BTN showed Q♥: 9♥: and won $11.21 ($5.37 net)

Tricky river. If you bet, I guess you’re kind of committed, anyway, as you won’t have much money left behind? And the only worse hand calling us is presumably KT.

Check-fold seems really weak, so I guess I’d check-call the top two-pair, but wouldn’t be happy about it.

Personally I would just call preflop. Cbet is ok. From time to time we can check OTT, because we will have to check/fold very often OTR if he shove, so I would maybe mix it with checking and betting, but I am not sure about it. Yeah, he has a bunch of flashdraws, but we also block some of them. What was your default plan OTR? After you bet ott? What would you do on some blank river? And check/call on this river is the best option imo, he has a lot of busted draws, worse two pairs, but yeah sometimes we have to also lost, but no worries.
