Situation is I have not had any decent hands the entire tournament. I pushed with 78s in SB last circuit and won a small pot. I won one other pot early round II with KQo. I have about 3.5 BB left when I am in the BB. I elected to stop and go because the big stack has not been aggressive, but maybe I was just too short already. Was the stop and go ok, should I have pushed, or just folded? I thought at the time that the big stack would call with any two cards.

You can't stop and go unless you're first to act.

Ok, so I thought a stop and go was basically if you are ready to push preflop anyways, take a look at the flop, then push. I didn't realize you had to be first to act. I figured I didn't have any fold equity preflop. If I check, I can see the flop and make sure there are no Aces. Are you saying that there was no point in checking preflop since I wasn't first to act?
