Preflop
Standard open.

Flop
At 2NL I think, you should bet larger than this, when you have a very strong hand like two pair. There are no draws on this board other than some gutshots, so the main goal here is to get max value from AX and worse two pair. The issue with going just half pot is, that it limits the size of the bets, you can put in on the turn and river. And just to make it clear, I am not trying to suggest a balanced game here. If you bet 12c on the bluff, you likely never have any bluffs or weak made hands in your range. But this does not matter, since nobody at 2NL are smart enough to figure that out. They are just looking at their own two cards, and if they flopped top pair, they are not going anywhere.

Turn
More happy with your sizing now, but had you gone bigger on the flop, maybe you could bet 30c instead of 21c and still have it be the same size relative to the pot.

River
Its definitely not a fold. You do potentially lose to 87 now, but its kind of unlikely, he called the flop with that, since it did not even have a gutshot, and there were no flushdraws either. This means, that we are left with sets and worse two pair as his value range, and then he can also have some bluffs. And there are far more combos of worse two pair, than there are of sets. So I think, its fine to jam for value here, and you just happened to run into the top of his range. A bit of an unfortunate cooler, but at least its only 2 bucks to reload and play on :)
