Playing properly is raising enough to get 1-2 callers. It doesn't matter how many BB that is, you want to isolate! At higher money tables BB does matter. Raising 4xbb with AA and 3x with everything else would show that you have AA when you raise 4xbb. At the penny tables nobody pays attention to that. You want to squeeze the most money you can out of these people. It is most definitely about throwing your chips in early with strong starting hands.

I played 1/2 penny tables for a while and got sick of it really quickly. It's excruciatingly difficult to place people on hands. They will call 5xBB raises with complete crap. I think it is much more difficult to build your skill at micro limits than it is at higher limits. When you play 1/2 penny you aren't getting the same skills you would apply to the 1/2 dollar tables. At 1/2 penny you should play extremely straight forward and not be tricky at all. There is no point, nobody pays attention.

Shhhh, don't tell anybody but I moved up to .5/.10 before I was properly bankrolled. If you are patient and only play premium hands it is extremely easy to win here, I feel.
