Villain is 14/0 over 7 hands, so no real reads as of yet, but I felt the 2pair was for sure the best hand especially on the dry board and tried to get the most value of this hand from all streets. What could I have done differently?

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (6 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Button ($0.25)
Hero (SB) ($2.17)
BB ($2.33)
UTG ($2)
MP ($5.02)
CO ($2.14)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A, Q
4 folds, Hero bets $0.08, BB calls $0.06

Flop: ($0.16) A, 6, Q (2 players)
Hero bets $0.08, BB raises to $0.16, Hero calls $0.08

Turn: ($0.48) 4 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.20, BB calls $0.20

River: ($0.88) 6 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.50, BB calls $0.50

Total pot: $1.88 | Rake: $0.12

Results:
Hero had A, Q (two pair, Aces and Queens).
BB had Q, 9 (two pair, Queens and sixes).
Outcome: Hero won $1.76

I'd prefer betting more than preflop on the flop. I'd bet around $0.14 to get more value weaker aces. What's the point of betting $0.20 into a pot of $0.48 on the turn? If you're betting for value shouldn't you bet more since he is likely to have atleast a pair of queens because of his flop min-raise? How is he perceiving your play? What are your stats at the table? Was the only other hand he played when he was in the big blind?
