This one I had bad starting cards but with that stack and what was going on at the table (everyone was playing very tight) I felt it was a great spot to see a cheap flop

Congrats on the win
It's always nice to take down a big field, even if you do win less than $5
All the hands posted are from the final table... where everything is vastly different to any other stage of a tournament. So anyone reading through, try not to take too much notice of the plays.

With the K2 limp you said you played it because everyone was playing tight. If that's the case then open raise it. Limping in that spot is plain bad IMO.
That said, I'm not sure I've ever beaten a field of this size so you've done better than me, well done!

Its always nice to win any tournament no matter what the first prize is. Obviously you would like to win the big tournaments but the sense of achievement in winning any tournament is great and it makes you feel great. Congratulations to you again
