Pocket J's layed down but whould have won

I folded on the River because I thought someone might be betting on the King and they would have had the higher hand on me. I should have raised it up a bit more Preflop and bet the Flop and the Turn but I guess I was trying to play it safe. I guess against players that bet the Minium I probably fold by the River or sometimes the Turn if I can't see my hand hits. I'll start putting more in on the higher pairs early in the hand and make them pay to see the Flop.

The smaller the river bet in relation to the pot, the more incorrect it becomes to fold. If somebody bets $1 into a million dollar pot, you should never fold. Do you see why?

What if the board is AdAhAsAc2s and you have 2h2d? Then you have exactly 0% equity against any hand, and therefore should fold. As you would need 0.0000009% equity for a call to be breakeven.
