Re: stop n gos....ineffective?
I think most of the time it is easy to put you on a hand that is unrelated to the flop, ie a random hand that most likely missed the flop. So with the pot odds a call is right.
I know I sniff out stop'n go's a lot simply because the other guy with that kind of stack in that stage of the tournament would check to me if he hit the flop. Why would a solid player just call preflop and push postflop? The M.O of a solid player is to push or fold. When he diverges from that pattern it means something. Here it means the good old stop'n go
That said, I find them to work pretty well when you have a decent amount of chips simply because people don't want to risk 1000 chips when they also miss the flop. Afterall I could attempt the stop'n go with a pair of fives and be ahead of him.
