I did a search on google/btp/2+2 for a set mining strategy. I thought I would give it a go for a few hundred hands and get a taste of the play. I did find a nice strategy and it said to buy in with only 80 BB's. Who am I to argue with a higher player so I gave it a whirl. Hence my $1.60. This is my first hand at the table and I posted in the CO as you can see. No reads.

UTG checks, MP2 checks, Hero bets $0.12, UTG calls $0.12, MP2 folds.
My opponent could have AA or KK but he probably has AK and just made 2-pair. My goal is to get all my money in the middle and if he has a set of A's or K's Im getting stacked. Is this correct strategy or will this thinking cost me money in the long run?
(If he holds QQ or lower I probably won't make anything with 2 overcards to his pair)
I bet a little bit more than half the pot to get things started once they both check to me.

I don't understand why you buy in for only 80 BB's. Im going to tweak things a bit in the future.
