Is this the right spot for a stop and go play?

I figured a stop and go would be my play when I saw A/J off in MP1. I still had about 15BB's so maybe I could have found a better spot to risk all my chips.........No specific reads besides the table being very tight

Absolute $1 with rebuy tourneys

Blinds 200/400.

I am at around 6200 in chips and BB has 16,000

UTG calls, 2 folds, I raise to 2400 in MP1, all folds, BB calls, UTG folds

Flop A/10/10 rainbow

Hero bets all in

that's not a stop n go, you have to be OOP to make a stop n go.

This hand doesn't make sense. You need to be acting first to make a stop and go play, and you need to be calling a raise.

yea... that's just an 'all in on the flop play'.

although it wasn't a stop n' go, it looks like an okay move to me.

OK thanks. I wasn't sure if this was in fact a stop and go. Anyways when I saw A/J I knew this is how I was going to play it. BB turned over 9/10 off for a set of 10's

i think the move 'stop and go' is the most butchered/misunderstood term on 2+2

Not to be anal or anything, but you mentioned another term that is often misunderstood.

A set is when you have a pocket pair, and hit a 3rd on the board (ex. you have 88 and the flop is A 8 J). What you described is called trips (when you have 1 in your hole cards and 2 come on the board, ex you hold KJ and the board shows A K 6 K 10).

Both are 3 of a kind, but typically when someone talks about hitting a set, they had 2 in the hole, while trips they have 2 on the board.
