Now I'll post a hand where I don't fold for a change
How to get maximum value/can I ever get away from that hand?

Preflop: Hero is BU with 2:d, 2:s.
2 folds, MP2 raises to $0.06, MP3 folds, CO calls $0.06, Hero calls $0.06, 2 folds, BB folds.

MP2 bets $0.10, CO folds, Hero calls $0.10.
Can I ever play this differently (raise) on this board? I think he's folding his continuation bets and I'm likely taking away the opportunity for him to second barrel...
How should I go about it if the board's 2-suited? Raise for protection/for him to put me on a draw/something or just call too and reevaluate on turn?
Turn: ($0.41) 3:s (2 players)
MP2 bets $0.41, Hero calls $0.41.
When he bets the turn this strong I put him on some overpair... doubt he has some really odd straight there (A4s?), and he can't buy free cards out of position.
River: ($1.23) 9:s (2 players)
MP2 bets $0.06, Hero raises to $0.60, MP2 calls $0.54.
I guess that he sensed danger since I look very strong calling his potsize bet.
I don't see any backdoor flushes in his range so I make a not too enormous raise to try to get him to call... and it works.
Final Pot: $2.43.
Results follow:
Hero shows three of a kind, twos (2d 2s).
MP2 shows a pair of kings (Kd Ks).
Hero wins with three of a kind, twos (2d 2s).
