PokerStars Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind t50 (9 handed) converter

MP3 (t1310)
CO (t850)
Button (t1390)
Hero (t1760)
BB (t1120)
UTG (t1940)
UTG+1 (t2160)
MP1 (t1050)
MP2 (t1920)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls, Button calls, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (5 SB, t250) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB folds, MP2 calls, CO calls, Button calls.

Turn: (4.50 BB, t450) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 calls, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero calls, MP2 calls, CO calls.

River: (12.50 BB, t1250) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP2 checks, CO checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, Hero calls, MP2 folds, CO folds.

Final Pot: 14.5 BB (t1450)

What can I do here?

Should I fold this junk hand preflop? I figured I was getting pretty good odds to see a flop for only t25.

Default Re: Shaky two pair on flop

Not sure how many replies you'll get, as most of the traffic here is in NL SNGs, but let's see.

I think K2s is probably enough hand to complete the SB with behind 3 limpers when the blinds are this small, so that seems okay to me. (Disclaimer: most of my limit experience is in games other than hold'em, so I'm winging it here. But this can't be a huge error either way, I don't think.)

The only alternative plan of action I see is to three-bet the turn to try and drop some of the others, because I don't think you want wheel cards or Ax to be hanging around to see the river. Other than that, I think this played out pretty much according to form. Check-calling the river seems good to me.
