Villain just came on the table so no info.
1) Should I play any street different (more pot control as my position in tourney OK and he is big stack…); for example no raise on flop and no lead out on river (just check call)?
2) Can/Should I fold river here?
3) Answer different when no K high flush but just two pair
4) Is my betsizing OK?

played it perfect buddy, you do not want to pot control this hand because you are never folding, you wanna get all your money in, even if he limped aces you are ahead OTF, so as the hand was played i think you can never fold OTR, he could have tons of things, and there is only one hand that beats you. Furthermore, I'm shoving to his minraise, as they're never folding AA, a set or KQ in a $2 donkament, do not give these players that much credit
OK, I agree.
The only reason why I doubted is because I rarely see (even never), in these donkaments, a min reraise on the river with less than a flush in that spot….but as he can also have lower flushes (limping with suited connectors like Jh10h….) in that spot I still reshoved….he calls and has A high flush (AH 6H)
I think you played the hand fine, there are a couple of things you could do slightly differently if you chose.
I think I would lead out on the flop there as there was no preflop raise and I want to start building the pot straight away and am not afraid of any hand he may have. Check raising is obviously fine though you may miss value if he checks behind. I think the sizing is fine here as it gives him a chance to do something stupid, and you are never folding.
Sizing on the turn is near perfect imo as it sets up a river shove, though you could bet slightly more to make the river shove even more natural.
The river is the only spot where I think you may have misplayed the hand, having set up the sizing so well I think you should jam here on any card. As played it is never a fold and even though the minraise looks super strong I am still jamming as a call leaves you with a ridiculous stack anyway and he could easily have a smaller flush.
To respond to the questions directly:
1) I am looking to build the pot here as your hand is so strong so not looking to pot control at all. I talked about maybe playing the hand slightly differently.
2) Never folding the river.
3) Jamming the river on any card, even better on a missed flush.
4) Bet sizing seems decent, but just shove the river.
I think the hand was played well for you. I kind of like the check to you in BB for it doesn't expose the hand and you see the flop. When you don't have a read on your opponent, then the check is good in BB. I am surprised that there wasn't anyone shipped before getting to you but I guess this is a 2.00 tourney. Anywho… If the UTG was read as a nit, then I would re-raise as it folded to you for you are out of position. I would say it you made a good choice with the player just coming to the table.
Good job.
