I'm wondering if someone could explain some steal ranges to me.
I'm playing 18man $1.50s, and i'm having trouble deciding when to steal, and what ranges i'm looking at.
Take this as an example:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 1.5 Tournament, 100/200 Blinds (7 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

SB (t2430)
BB (t4410)
UTG (t1425)
MP1 (t5380)
MP2 (t7940)
Hero (CO) (t2580)
Button (t2835)

Hero's M: 8.60

Preflop: Hero is CO with 2, A
5 folds

Total pot: t200

Big blind being somewhat loose. Is this a good spot to steal?
If not what range would i be looking to steal with here?

The BB is loose (and covers you), so you are less likely to succeed than normal. A2o is also a hand which does awfully when you are called.

13 BB is an uncomfortable stack depth which usually calls for being tighter.

So, I would not raise or push with A2o there. A2o might be at the boundary of a 40% range, and you might want to raise something like a 20% range in that situation.
