A tournament spot

Blinds: t60/t120 (6 Players) UTG: 3,407
MP: 9,274
CO: 4,808
BN: 5,018
SB: 3,410
BB: 6,252 (Hero)
Preflop (180) Hero is BB with 2 5
4 folds, SB raises to 276, Hero calls 156
This is a fairly standard defend blind to blind right?
Flop (642) T 2 6
SB checks, Hero checks
In hindsight, I think this is probably a bet. I'm assuming that i'll get plenty of calls from worse hand on such a raggedy board. Is my thinking right??
Turn (642) T 2 6 K
SB checks, Hero checks
River (642) T 2 6 K 2
SB checks, Hero bets 321, SB folds
Tried to go for some bluffy looking thin value here.. Not sure about this at all. I don't even know if this is a bet, and if it is i'm assuming 1/2 pot is too big.
Final Pot BB wins 642

Hi guys! Long time lurker here trying to get a better grasp of MTTs.
This one was a 2.20 Jcarver home game, and to be honest I felt pretty lost in some hands (mainly preflop stuff). I'd be really grateful if someone could take a look at this spot, and help my fishy self get a little bit better hehe. I'll probably post some of the other hands later.
Thanks in advance!

Preflop is a call, then bet flop to protect (he'll fold a lot of hands with 6 outs). As played you can go for 220 river or smthing like that, just try to make him call some shit, coz I think he would have bet a K or a T.

[probably going a bit larger river] I kinda disagree with this. Because if we are not putting villain on the flush then you are going to scare them away if you bet too big. Bet tiny IMO 100-200.

Maybe the lesson here is that you should have noted how passive he is post flop and fit/fold... Then next time you run into this same spot vs the exact same villain type you will have a plan e.g small 3bt he calls with his Ax and chq folds to your hugely profitable cbet???
Any disagreements to that?
Do this tho maybe with hands such as the example and Kx or Qx as they have blocker advantage?
Must be the same villain type tho, don't do this to calling stations
