$2.20 - Flop 2 pair

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 1.1 Tournament, 40/80 Blinds (6 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

CO (t2803)
Button (t3695)
SB (t3760)
Hero (BB) (t2967)
UTG (t3255)
MP (t2160)

Hero's M: 24.73

Preflop: Hero is BB with 2, 4
1 fold, MP calls t80, CO calls t80, 1 fold, SB calls t40, Hero checks

Flop: (t320) 2, A, 4 (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets t240, 1 fold, CO calls t240, 1 fold

Turn: (t800) 10 (2 players)
Hero bets t720, CO calls t720

River: (t2240) 8 (2 players)
Hero bets t1927 (All-In), CO calls t1763 (All-In)

Total pot: t5766

I think I played this hand fine and in fact I would play it this way again imo. I am curious about my M rating here, and how I played this hand. I am new to tournaments, so I am still learning. Should I have taken a different line? My bet-sizing on the turn was to set up a shove on any river card.

Should I be taking a different line when the blinds are 40/80? Or lower?

Any reads on villain? I don't know what hands call 3 streets that is worse than bottom two pair. I think any bare ace would be hard pressed to call here. I probably check/call the river.

Re: $2.20 - Flop 2 pair

When limped like that you can expect all kinds of hands there so playing it agressively is the right way to play imo. For the most part you'll be up against draw/TP type combos tho, wp.

Nh, wp.

Villian probably go to attached to their AX, even then they shouldn't be limping AX in the CO.
