Looking for some feedback. I think I played this hand horribly wrong. BTN is a big fish and calling station / min raiser that has won multiple pots with magical marginal hands.

~22 players left in tournament, 6 places paid.

6 Players on table
BTN: ~60 BB (Fish)
CO: ~12 BB (Hero)
BB: ~20 BB (NIT)

Ante: 0.1 BB

Preflop
Folded to BTN, he limps in.
Hero on SB with A 2, raise to 5BB
BB folds
BTN calls

Flop 12.6 BB
Q 5 6
Hero goes all in
Fish calls and show 5 4

So the original idea was to win the blinds & antes. If not, then just shove post flop if it looks scary to set some pressure.

Fold pre? Check?

you have 12bbs with antes? If
you're going to be raising here it should
be KK+ against people with no history. I would prefer jamming my entire range including a2o.

I'm wondering if you're not in the sb/or
don't have 12bb?

Just shove because you have short stack.

+1 to shoving.

If you have a calling station to your left then raising like this is a bad play. If we raise here with a station to our left we want a monster, if we raise also raise to 2 or 2.25x then cbet is also okay if players to our left are nitty. With the station to our left like this and our hand strength best play is to jam

shove every time in this spot and these conditions (fish limping and nit on BB)

Ooops sorry didn't realize someone had limped, yeah then just jam over him

No, that's actually not bad v some regfish/stationy LP limpers. You get a ton of FE with those types of 4-5-6BB raises always getting it in anyway on flops.

He's not gonna call 54cc on QJ8 etc, and he only connects with a third of boards or so.

You can do this with the intention of shoving all flops.

just shove pre. rising to 5bb and committing half of your stack with a hand that doesn't play very good on flops is just bad.
