yuck. don't know how you can. you only have 4.5 of those 'bee-bee's after posting SB. i think you have to push this.

I stop and go, and I think it's correct.

Lotta ways to play it, but folding ain't one of them IMHO.

I'm not certain a stop &amp; go will work well here considering villian's stack size in relation to mine.

If the flop Come K84 and he has QTs, it will, but then again, you want him to call there.

I think you just need to push preflop. I dont like AJ very much but its probally the best hand your gonna see and against one player isnt a bad spot. When you get shortstacked your options and flexibility diminsh.

If the flop misses him you have a ton of FE here, IMO. I also agree w/ Dali that no way you fold here. You can call or push. I wouldn't say a stop n go is the 'correct' move but it is certainly a good option. You can also check/call for the rest when your A or J hits...

It looks like the chip leader is trying to bully. Push. You have to do it sometime soon anyway.

This couldn't be a better spot for a stop 'n go.

Now assuming the flop comes with overs to the villian's pocket pair. Will the villian muck or call down as I look desperate?

I would just push and cross my fingers. Given stack size, you are likely to get called either way, and there is no way you can muck this hand given the context.

It's a blatant stop and go. If it comes all rags you might get him to lay down AK, if it comes Q high you might get him to lay down 99, etc.
