Default Is this a bad time to use a stop and go?

CAn someone help me with the stop and go technique. I feel that I can't use it very effectively.

Is this a good example of a stop and go or no?

Read on this guy was weak-tight. He waitied till he had 2 BB with QQ to push.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (9 handed) converter

UTG+1 (t22224)
MP1 (t23906)
MP2 (t29777)
MP3 (t3182)
CO (t30507)
Button (t5480)
SB (t15400)
Hero (t6496)
UTG (t1180)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t1600</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t800.

Flop: (t2800) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t4846 (All-In)</font>, Button calls t3830 (All-In).

Turn: (t11476) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

River: (t11476) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t11476

You should use a stop and go when you're pretty sure villain will call your all in preflop, due to pot odds or his tendencies, and you'd rather not go to showdown. Here you have enough to push him out preflop, and he was very likely stealing with a weak hand.

Push preflop.

OK, my viewing of the stop and go was wrong then. I see exactly what you are saying.

You use the stop and go if the villian will call PF with kq but not call if they miss on the flop vs you a med PP.

Is this correct?

looks about right to me. The only problem being that you may not have much F.E. with your/his stack size. Overall though, I like your play

Yep. Here villain probably won't call preflop if he was stealing with a weak hand, but he's more likely to call if you give him a chance to hit the flop.
