a stop and go w/ TT would only get hands you have killed to fold.

first, that's not true (e.g. does 88 fold on a 7 high flop? does AKs always fold on rag flop? or with a draw?)

second, the pot is big enough that winning the pot is the primary objective. it's ok if worse hands fold. you'd rather have your opponent only see 3 cards and win the pot than lose the pot after they see all 5 cards.

stop and go is terrible here. there are exactly 0 hands that have you beat preflop that will fold on any flop. I mean, what's the point? If you're going to push any flop anyway, might as well get all-in now as a favorite.

easy push with a 14BB stack and pocket 10s.
