Stop and go?

[Shanemex]

Was this a good spot for a stop and go? The villain and two other people had been min-raising every time they opened the pot for the last few orbits, so it probably didn't mean much. The SB in this hand had been stealing a lot so I doubt I would have a chance to steal on the next hand. I planned to go all in even if I missed the flop completely, I just happened to spike a pair which made it easier.

Given your read this looks ok. A better hadn then 45 would be nice, since you do need to win in a showdown a good amount to make this a +$EV play.

If I read your post correctly you are pushing in for about 690 on the flop. I don't know what the button's min raise means, but I'm suprised he folded on the flop. Everytime I try to do this Queen high calls me. I think folding preflop is better, as I think your stop and go will get called most of the time. You will have 840 after paying the blinds. Look to push on one of the next 3 hands. If all esle fails you can push UTG. Do the blinds raise soon?
