QQ vs scary board

I am currently in a rebuilding phase after a bad run at .05/.1 and am playing .01/.02 on Stars. There is actually some decent money in it. Much better than UB's .01/.02 tables, mainly because you can have the fish buy in with $5 max instead of $2. Anyway.. on to the post.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (8 handed) converter

Hero ($4.72)
UTG+1 ($2)
MP1 ($5.04)
MP2 ($4.56)
CO ($2)
Button ($8.86)
SB ($7.83)
BB ($4.82)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.02.
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.2</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls $0.20, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, BB calls $0.18.

At this table there are 2-3 really loose players that will call pretty much any preflop bet of .10 and lower. So, to be taken seriously I tried a large .20 preflop bet UTG.

Flop: ($0.63) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $0.22</font>, MP1 calls $0.22, BB folds.

I bet 1/3 of the pot here figuring an ace would either call or raise me. If I was raised I would fold.

Turn: ($1.07) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets $0.12</font>, Hero calls $0.12.

I checked to try and see what they had. The small bet was a little suspicious, but I called it thinking they might have a ten.

River: ($1.31) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets $0.94</font>, Hero folds.

The river didn't help my situation any and the bet was the sealed the deal.

Final Pot: $2.25

Do you think my line was right? If not what do you think would have been better?

Preflop: At each level, there's a "standard" PFR. And after you've played at a table for awhile, feel perfectly free to adjust it if needed. (Most of the times, you don't have to adjust it at all) You need to balance action and value, and so given your read, PF sounds fine.

Flop: IF you're going to bet that, you need to bet it bigger. If you had AK there, what would you bet? Hopefully somewhere between 2/3 and full pot, so bet that. You don't have to bet that either. I imagine at this level that people play any ace alot.

Turn: Hate his bet. Hard to fold to it, and he's probably not folding if you c/r him. You are probably behind here, but don't blame you for the action.

River: Good fold.
