defined as:just calling a bet or raise out of position [the stop], and then leading out on the next street [the go].

It's not a stop-n-go if you played passively on the previous street. The key elements of the stop-n-go are:

1. Aggressive action (bet/raise) on the flop or turn.

2. Getting raised by a player who has position on you.

3. Just calling that raise when you could have reraised.

4. Betting out again on the next street.

There is a fifth element that is implied although it cannot always be verified:

5. Using the same values for the bet on the new street. The "cool, I hit my flush" bet is not called a stop-n-go if everyone recognizes it for what it is.
