Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx (http://www.zerodivide.cx/converter)

Hero (t2420)
BB (t2890)
UTG (t2325)
Button (t2365)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A/images/graemlins/club.gif, 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t500</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero ?

Final Pot: t800

After a brief hiatus to rebuild and learn how to 8-table, I'm back 6-tabling the 109's, biatch. 8-tabling soon to follow.

I won't say who the villain is because I haven't asked him if I can post about this hand, but he is a very good 2+2er. He's been playing just about how a good player would be in terms of frequency of raises, etc. I probably have a very aggressive image right now as I've been presented with some very good stealing opportunities, so I've been doing it alot. I think I just recently folded to a push after raising the bb from the sb. So not a terrible amount of respect, but villain's not going to be making crazy calls. Wow, a read for once!

Is this not not the SNG should be played? The blind is g00t to stay alive. This is how I play.

My default play here is to fold. Raising allin is my second choice and calling is definitely out of the question.

The more I think about it the more I like the fold. It's either fold or commit your 12BB stack with A9 and something about that just doesn't sit right.

If you're willing to risk your stack on A9o then more power to you. I don't think it's a strong enough hand against my notion of a "normal" raise here(though I'm not playing anywhere near 109's so...). And I don't think you really gain enough here to risk being called by villian. I think you can find a better spot with a slightly better hand to attempt this kind of steal, especially if you have a slightly "crazy" image.

1) Dope thread title.
2) I think I like folding here best.

Everyone seems to disagree with me, but I push. Villain's got a very wide range and has to fold a lot of hands here.

is this a good spot for a stop n go?

why/why not?

This isn't a clear stop n go, IMHO, because he has plenty of fold equity preflop (maybe more than he has postflop, in other words). Stop n go still may be right though.
