Default Re: Perfect time for StopnGo or push

Stop and Go would be about the worst thing you could do here. You would be pushing into 3 people (I believe Chairkaga is the BB and can just call preflop). It's suicidal to expect that the flop will miss everybody.

So you either want to put in 75 chips and call (but not as a stop and go, but to see if the flop hits you), or push preflop. Pushing preflop is very dangerous. Hoagieroller will likely fold (he'll be hoping that you get knocked out by the big stack) and Fknbucky will likely call. So your life will be on the line, and the short stack can fold into third place if you get knocked out.

Hell, I don't know. Push, call. [censored], damn, [censored]. Life sucks.

I think the way to think about this hand is to pretend that the short stack has folded (because that's what he'll do) and the big stack has limped in. Would you push in that situation? I guess you would. AQ is a powerful hand short-handed.
