Re: Stop and Go Criteria
Why does it lose EV against very strong hands?
Say the stealer will raise with any two. If you push, he'll call with whatever his calling range is. If you stop and go, then the push is twice the pot. This involves another range to call. If we say the stealer will only call with top pair of better, then he's got I think about a 15% chance of calling. So is this 15% likely to be less than what he would called with on an immediate pre-flop push?
It seems to me the two plays are very close. One advantage I see to the stop and go is that if the stop and go'er hits his hand, he doesn't have to push. He can try to leverage the times he hits the flop, and bluff the times he misses.
