Re: Explanation of Stop-and-go?
[ QUOTE ]
Stop-n-go is to conceal the strength of your hand to keep the villan in, I thought. EG: hero holds A8 OOP on a rainbow flop of A82, giving him top two. We bet, Villan in MP raises, what's best? Call, then lead out again so Villan can't put you on a hand.

i think the SnG is a great tool that at least I don't fully understand or use and i think it is difficult to use due to how many meanings it could have.
1. it could be used to fold someone who is tight and fears a better or a turn-improved hand.
2. keep villain in the hand and paying more
3. actually be a turn-improved hand when you don't think a c/r will work.
it depends on a lot of factors like a lot of hands do obviously, but i think even more so. your read of your opponent. how many opponents. hand strength. board dynamics. what you think your opponent has. what you think the villain thinks you have. seems the stop-n-go is a very diverse tool that i haven't read much about, but if anyone has a link or good advice on how/when to use it, that would be great.
