Final Table hand analysis
 

$7500 guaranteed, 3 left (out of 480). Villain is OTB and has @200,000 in chips, I'm in the SB w/ @100,000 and BB also has @100,000. Villain has been playing aggressively and stealing lots of pots. Villain was also talking about wanting to chop just 1 or 2 hands prior. Blinds are 4000/8000, and villain makes it 30 to go. I hold 77. Line?

all-in

stop and go

Hero pushes.

77 is favorite against villain's range if he has been stealing alot. Hero has no incentive to see a flop when he is likely ahead, a stop and go is terrible.

Re: Final Table hand analysis
 

Isn't the benefit of a stop and go that, if Villain has overcards and doesn't hit the flop he'll likely fold and thus not get to see the remaining cards that could beat you? Whereas with a push he might likely call and get to see all 5 cards, as opposed to only 3. I think that play has some merit in this situation for that reason, though I don't know if it's superior to a push.

Re: Final Table hand analysis
 

Do you have a read on whether you have any fold equity pre-flop with a push? If he is stealing a lot I think you do and that makes a push better IMO

Re: Final Table hand analysis
 

There are many possibilities where villain only has one overcard or two weaker overcards that he will be willing to laydown BTF including 89, T2, A-rag, etc and an assortment of stealing hands. This is much different from a situation where villain opened from strength in early position with many players, and has at least a quality draw or a pair, as opposed to likely having a marginal draw: in the later case villain is unlikely to release his hand BTF.

push it in. that is a monster 3 handed and you said he is aggressive.
