Of course you'll win a small pot - you're playing $0.05/$0.10. Nobody is going to call an all-in of $24.10 for a $0.30 pot unless they have the 5th six.
I would have bet $0.10 and hope for a couple of callers to boost the pot I know I'm going to win. If I got lucky somebody might have even raised me (which I would then of course re-raise about the same amount, hoping they will atelast call if not raise again).
You need to look at pots in terms of multiplications of the big blind, not their $ value. Also, you should bet for value on monster hands. By betting for value, this means place a bet that you think people will call, and not fold to.
You want to extract as much money as you can from your opponents - this means lots of small wins, not one huge one followed by thousands of nothings!
Ultimately though, unless somebody has some kind of hand, they just aren't going to call. I would have folded to even a $0.10 bet unless I had a decent sized pocket pair. But judging by the preflop play above, nobody had anything. If they were sat there with AA/KK (probably the only hands they would consider calling an all in with), chances are they would have been more aggressive preflop.
