stop and go

[martinimagic]

Sorry I have almost all the lingo down, but I keep seeing stop and go? Not sure what it means. Can someone please help me?

This may be a case of the blind leading the blind . . . [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
but I believe it means a player who varies his betting pattern by betting, then not betting, then betting again.

to just call a raise preflop, and then push post flop. usually from a blind.

example:

raise from middle position, fold to you in bb with QQ. you just call. flop looks safe (no A or K or 3-of-a-suit), you push.

i'm murky on what people consider to be the proper time / improper times to attempt it. but that's it in a nutshell.

It actually applies more to post flop play, where you bet a guy in position raises and you just call. Then on the turn you bet into him.

Stop&Go

In Limit play, it means that you call a Villain's raise (instead of re-raising) on one street and then bet into him on the next street.

For example:

Flop: you bet; Villain raises; you call.
Turn: you bet.

You "stopped" by just calling Villain's flop raise instead of re-raising. And then you went ("go'ed" [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ) by leading out the turn.

The more common or expected play is, if you're unwilling to reraise on one street, you're probably checking to the raiser on the next street.
