Seven players remain. BB is 50T. I am short stack. I'm in the BB with 575T after posting the BB. I am dealt 77. MP raises to 200T. He is a LAG player who could have any two cards. He has about 1750T. It is folded to me in the BB.

What's your move - call, push, stop and go, fold?

Against a real lag I would stop-n-go. Against a standard or tight raiser Im folding and waiting for a better opportunity. I like the stop-n-go better than a push here. I would estimate you are a 60% favorite against a true lags raising hands here - Any A, pairs, Kxs, and 2 10+. The range could be larger than this. I think the stop-n-go gives you some additional fold equity if the flop misses him. Only my lowly opinion. I never seem to make the stop-n-go at the correct times.

I would probably push. give yourself a chance to win it right there (though it's very very slim, it's still an additional chance to win. I'd be happy taking the SB and his T200)

Stop and go backfires real bad when three broadway hit. Then you're left with T575-BB+little chance to come back.

What is the BB right now?

BB is 50. It will be 100 by the time the blinds come back.

I feel like pushing or folding are your best choices, considering how few chips you have left for the flop bet, especially since at the 50bb level, it's really possible to get additional callers behind.

"Stop and go" is to call pre-flop then push all in after any flop.
