Re: $11 AK, missed 8 high flop... stop n go ok? (nice pot)
 

stop n go is definitely the most misunderstood/misapplied term ive seen on 2+2

Against two callers, that's probably what I'd do. Maybe I'd even throw some stupid, weird mini-bet out there in order to try to get a free turn. (After all, this IS an 11.) [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Alot of players freeze up against such behavior. This is what sucks about playing hands OOP. But the thing is, I don't want my stack getting severely hurt this hand if I miss. It just seems to me that with mulitple callers after that flop, your hand basically sucks.

You make money at the 11s by value betting, not by bluffing. So yes, I'd check /fold or maybe mini-bet and try for one 'free' card. Shut 'er down. For all these reasons (healthy stack, low blinds, OOP, disguised hand if you hit) I prefer checking pre-flop.

This looks much better. First, you only had one caller so its easier to steal the pot. Second, you had position and he already checked to you which shows weakness. Third, you nor your opponent is desperate so if he gives you any action its pretty clear your beat and can get away from the hand.
