looking for leaks...could this be one?

I have no reads and am new to the table. Do you cbet, considering two face cards landed? Does this change if you're OOP but everything else is the same? If you do, what is the size of your cbet?

And if it's the same except with 2 unknowns seeing the flop and checking to you, do you cbet? Same if you're first to act into 2 unknowns?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG+1 ($104.03)
UTG+2 ($23.90)
Hero ($50.95)
MP2 ($47.58)
MP3 ($66)
CO ($46.75)
Button ($15.20)
SB ($54.65)
BB ($54.50)
UTG ($35.02)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 8, 8. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
UTG calls $0.50, 2 folds, Hero raises to $2, 6 folds, UTG calls $1.50.

Flop: ($4.75) 2, K, J (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $3?

I think this is the worst time to be c-betting a hand, that doesnt mean not to do it but your opponent must have a high percentage of folding.
The more outs you have the more you should c-bet and the less you have the less you should c-bet. You only got two outs if he calls which is pretty low and therefore you need to be playing against a tight player in order to make this play profitable.
Usually i bet about 2/3 the pot when c-bet and I do it often if there is only one player.
I i didnt say dont c-bet here you just shouldnt be doing it against a loose player.

Everytime. He limp/called, which usually means a PP, so a cbet should take it down a high % of the time. Bet it oop as well.

Against 2 ppl, I usually check oop, and tend to bet more often if in position. It also depends heavily on board texture and reads obv.

i like this line a lot.

He limp/calls which normally means low PP and your raises represents one of those high cards. The majority of the time you will get played back here is he has a monster or got tricky with a big hand.

Then you hand is easy to let go.

I cbet this everytime headsup, and alot of the time against 2 opponents. Your preflop raise repped high cards and 2 high cards have come. Bet them.
Id probably check OOP against 2 loose players though since they are less likely to have a PP and more likely to have something like KT or QJ
