Hi guys,
I am pretty new to the game and this is the first hand I ever posted. I have had my account here for a while and the 50$ starting capital went to partpoker's 3 month inactivity fee.
I recently picked the game up again and I am trying to build up my bankroll at 888 from the free 8 dollars I got for signing up there. I played the play money tables for a while to get used to the software and the game, as i didn't want to blow the 8 dollars 
Now this hand played down. I have only seen around 10 hands at this table, so i have no useful stats. What i did notice is that players folded pretty easily (but that may be my perspective from the play money tables :))
I think, sticking to MSS, i should have bet stronger preflop. After two limpers and a 5x bet, I could have made it $0.30, right?
Given what i did preflop, and flopping top two pair, I would like to have gotten more value from this hand. Is there anything I should have done differently here? I came out (having initiative) with a half pot-sized bet. Is it wise to c/r or even c/c here given the texture of the board?
Or should I be satisfied with what i got?
Thanks for your thoughts.
