When reviewing the hand, I figured there is not much difference between t1200 and t1000. Maybe I should call here to see if I hit some kind of hand, or if not, just stop and go (push) if villian checks on the flop?

you can't stop n go when you won't be first to act =/

folding is fine here. calling is very bad, and he is probably calling a push. just let er go.

I don't think 95s is nearly enough of a hand to S-n-G. The point of the S-n-G is that you have enough of a hand to steal, but your opponent will call a pre-flop push, but fold to a post-flop push when the flop misses him.

If you are pushing 95s you aren't S-n-Ging, you are bluffing.

I might be completely off base.

edit - Missed the fact that you are not FTA. Can't do it here.

You'll have 6 BB after posting (and folding), you've got one guy covered and aren't too far behind another. You're in a reasonable position here, so you can fold and try to steal in better spots.

This is NOT a good place for a stop and go, and it's not even close!
