Either fold, or stop&amp;go, didn't know which was best.
Ty in advance, brian.

Stop and go is really bad, seeing as how you have 0 fold equity post-flop. You really think your t260 bet is going to get him to fold any 2 cards with t2200 in the pot? He's getting almost 10:1.

edit: just saying that to clarify that this is basically an all-in or fold situation because a stop and go is no different than an initial all-in here. as for moving in or folding, i'd probably opt to move in.

Re: 10+1: bubble KQ
 

how is stop and go bad????

I understand that I have VERY little FE after the flop.
But I have even LESS (0) preflop.

You have zero either way, unless your opponent is rather poor, which I guess is a reasonably strong possibility.

Your decision to play this hand is going to come down to how wide a range of hands you think UTG is going to be raising with. If he's been going crazy, then it might be okay, but if he's on more of an any ace/any pair kick, then this isn't going to be a winner. ICM is the answer here.

Fold Preflop

I was using bad as a synonym for pointless. As for why it's that, I explained it later in my post.

Well, I did put him on any ace any pair, turns out he had 66, but is it really a fold?

If I fold, I have 900 chips left, which 200 go into the SB, so I have 700 chips to push with. ICM doesnt take into account FE does it? And I will lose ALOT of FE if I fold here.

My fear is that I will have to fold the SB if I get rags and someone raises. I then have basically zero FE.

Still a fold?
