Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) converter

saw flop|saw showdown

SB (t1220)
Hero (t895)
UTG (t1085)
Button (t4800)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
1 fold, Button raises to t400, 1 fold, Hero raises to t895 (All-In), Button calls t495.

Button had been raising every hand for about 4 hands and everyone was folding to him. Did I make a good move?

Nope. You play this hand, you call and try to get Villain to laydown 3-1 odds on the flop. Pushing here is bad.

I think stop and go should be correct, though folding might not be so terrible.

I insta-fold this everytime.

If I don't fold (which I would almost everytime) then you must Stop and Go. You have no FE preflop.

Folding is probably best, however if you are going to play this you should call preflop and push any flop, so as to increase the chance of your opponent folding.

These are some interesting responses. I've never considered a stop and go before. I'm going to have to start using that move. I didn't really want to fold this because it would leave me w/ only 745 chips(I was BB). I've been moving in or folding at the higher levels when I am SS.

In this hand it just so happened that I hit my set on the flop and filled on the turn.
