Ways to induce a call??

[William Wilson]

Here's my example of the SnG, which I use mainly in S&Gs -- for some reason gay comments like that crack me up today, sorry.

You're a danger stack in the BB with a hand like 66 or 88. A bigger stack in position raises such an amount that you can't reraise without putting in your whole stack.

So, you simply call knowing you'll act before him on the flop. At the same time, you plan to push on the flop NO MATTER WHAT three cards come out.

The idea is you're giving him a chance to fold a hand on the flop that he probably couldn't have folded preflop while creating the illusion that you've hit the flop, which you might or might not have.

All your chips would have gone in the middle anyway, the stop-and-go just gives you a slightly better chance of winning.

This is how I understand it. My apologies to Fossilman.
