I haven't even been at the table for a full orbit, but it seemed very tight for a PP 0.5/1 (I left when the blinds got back to me, in fact).
Any feedback here? I'm more interested in a critique of the reasoning behind my plays here than specific advice, though that's certainly appreciated, too.
Thanks again for all the help.

Flop: (4.50 SB) T/images/graemlins/club.gif, 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 5/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds.
<font color="red">Given the utter lack of aggression and my position, I felt the flop warranted a bet to see where I stood--the plan was to call a single raise and check/fold if I didn't improve.</font>
Turn: (3.25 BB) A/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks.
<font color="red">Turn was about the scariest card I could've expected, so I wasn't about to give BB a chance to c/r me.</font>
River: (3.25 BB) T/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB folds.
<font color="red">Since BB still didn't bet his hand, I figured the ace of clubs didn't help him, so I was likely still best (the T almost certainly didn't help, because he'd have had at least TP since the flop, and now trips, so again he'd probably bet). So, given this, I bet. Turns out I must've read him right (or scared him off TP), because he folded.</font>
Final Pot: 4.25 BB
