Re: Stop and Go Criteria
[ QUOTE ]
Ok, here's a specific situation I've been thinking about. You're in the Big Blind with 15xBB. Stealer_Dude raises you 3xBB, and the small blind passes. If you want to re-steal should you push right away, or sit and go? Does it make a difference what your hand is? (e.g. push some hands, but stop and go others)

You should always raise/push when you have decent fold equity. The stop-n-go should only be used in a STT when pushing gives you no chance of winning before the flop.
If you insist on using it in a STT it should look something like this:
You are the BB with 350 behind and 150 posted.
Button with ~1200 min-raises to 300t.(Don't ask why)
SB folds, Hero????
Pushing has no fold equity. Your stack is really pathetic and your desperate.
Hero calls 150 more and pushes his last 200 at any flop in the hope that Villain will hate the flop so much that he gives up for 200t more and preserve his 900t stack.
Notice that your cards, his range and the flop are irrelavent.
One of the reasons that this play is rarely right in a SNG tourney is that if Villain is donkish enough to min-raise here he is usually capable of folding some percentage of time to a push.
