You should first lead the 8 of hearts from dummy for a finesse. Next time you lead the jack. This gives you three heart tricks whenever East has at least one honor. If you lead the jack first, you will be left with A-10-9 in your hand and you'll only be able to take one more finesse.

Leading the 2 first,
to the 9, is also
wrong. If West has
king-third, he can
duck the first round
and you will not
know whether East
started with K-Q-x-x
or Q-x-x. Try it.
