PokerStars, $0.23 + $0.02 - Hold'em No Limit - 100/200 (20 ante) - 9 players
Replay this hand on Upswing Poker

UTG: 3,620 (18 bb)
UTG+1: 3,806 (19 bb)
MP: 15,034 (75 bb)
MP+1: 6,925 (35 bb)
LP: 3,372 (17 bb)
CO: 4,000 (20 bb)
BU (Hero): 2,316 (12 bb)
SB: 8,669 (43 bb)
BB: 9,301 (47 bb)

Pre-Flop: (480) Hero is BTN with 2♥ A♦
2 players fold, MP calls 200, 3 players fold, Hero raises to 2,296 (all-in), 3 players fold

Total pot: 880
BU (Hero) wins 880

Is this too loose? Because I don't see much fold equity here.

Unless that big stack is limping an awful lot, I don't like it. He can call with 44 or A8 and you are in bad shape. Nevermind, he could be limping decent hands or trapping.

Yeah strangely Villain didn't call. I like squeezing limpers with a shove but not if limpers are so deepstacked

If you see MP limp/fold a lot even with a stack like this I would definetly go for it. With no reads I would probably fold.

It depends on how much villain is limping. I don't know how 25c tournaments play, but even in a $5 or $10 tournament, I would be a little careful with raising limpers in today's game.
