Is this hand played too loose in your opinion, what would you do?
Note: MP3 is raising a lot and has a big stack.

Bigstacks usually start raising alot once they notice they can get it through alot of the time. If you have this read that he is a playing the bigstack bully, you can definately shove KJs here for 20.x bb.

Depends on your read. If you know he is opeing a lot of hands and is capable of folding to 3bet, then the push has to profitable. But you have to keep on mind that you risk your tournament life. If he calls you with AJ/KQ then you are very behind. So I dont mind just calling here and go from there.

Not sure about that tbh, you'll miss the flop 2/3 of the times and you're crushing his opening range (unless op has the read villain is on the tighter side) so imo push pre is way better.
Also, if you go postflop with this hand, you need to realise you play a 20bb stack OOP vs an agressive bigstack who will probably not be shy of double barreling.

I don’t like it ether to call pre-flop with more than 10% of your stack invested and it’s difficult to win the hand if you missed the flop.
