Good time for a stop and go?

[JasonP530]

I felt by the way the last few hands had gone, and by the speed at which the person raised, that I was good, so I got all the money in. However, I am learning that there are often better plays like the stop and go. Would this have been a better spot for it(disregarding the results)?

"Good time for a stop and go?"

I'm not sure why, since merc isn't folding postflop.

[JasonP530]

Note, there are still 5 left, and only one blind, as someone was eliminated the last hand.

[Mr_J]

What I mean is you have no fold equity whether you push back at merc or use a stop and go, so why not just push your chips in straight away?

[curtains]

You never know, miracles happen and they fold sometimes. You gain nothing by pushing now, if you push on any flop, sometimes, although extremely rarely, youll get lucky.

Should I make the same stop and go play when someone raises half their stack(or my stack) and I have a hand I want/need to play like (66/77/AK/AQ/AJ)? Just wanted some more info on good times to use it.
