Wow... there is NO way i'm gonna stop and go here, your opponent can barely lay down 22 with that stack and your remaining chip count

It seems to me that by calling that bet you basically commit both yourself and the Villain to the pot. So a Stop and Go won't do anything as there is no way he is folding. You either need to fold or push. Either way your in rough shape but if you think you can steal back in the SB or on the button I'd fold otherwise you pretty much have to push as either way you have virtually no FE.

But he shouldnt have and you should never expect a fold in this situation.

My thought was that I was gonna have to take my chance soon (given level of blinds and size of my stack) and I'm not that much better off if I fold and have a stack of 500 than if i call the raise and have a stack of 300... and if nothing comes on flop I'll possible but not likely fold. Would the better move have been to simply move all in pf? Seemed less likely that he would fold to that, but who knows. BTW - yes it was idiotic on his part to fold. He was probably raising with crap pf, which leads me to believe that I should have just raise pf. Oh well. Should probably think abou these hands a bit before posting /images/graemlins/wink.gif
