If you never use a stop-n-go in a STT you will be much better off than if you use it incorrectly even a small percentage of the time.

Thanks. This is helpful advice, as it's difficult to know how to use it correctly. Lots of differing advice on this, and I've never seen any mathematical analysis.

FWIW I almost never use the Stop n Go in STTs anymore. I would guess a good situation (where there aren't better ways to get chips, i.e. open pushing) to use it maybe once in 100 tourneys, but hey, that guess could be off by an order of magnitude, so whatever.

In MTTs I find it much more useful.
