215s - Standard Stop and Go?

Excuse my stupidity, but what is a Stop N Go, how is it performed, and at what levels does it become important to know? I hear of it alot..

Thanks!

It's a play where you call a raise in the BB with the intention of pushing on any flop. The best time to do it is when you hold a medium to small pair and you suspect your opponent hold overcards. If you move all-in preflop your opponent will have pot odds to call. If you wait to move in on the flop and your opponent misses (which he will ~2/3 of the time) your opponent will often fold. This lets you win the pot anytime the turn or river would have beaten you.
