KJo in the BB
It's been a really tight 22 with 7 players left at the 50/100 blinds
Seat 1: TheDentist45 ( $1040 ) Seat 4: che_profit ( $1705 ) Seat 9: C_A_X_A_P ( $760 ) Seat 10: froman2004 ( $580 ) Seat 3: Xenod ( $745 ) Seat 2: knut10s ( $1475 ) Seat 7: Mace_Du ( $1695 ) Trny:16835496 Level:4 Blinds(50/100) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to Xenod [ Jh Ks ] che_profit folds. Mace_Du calls [100]. C_A_X_A_P folds. froman2004 folds. TheDentist45 folds. knut10s folds. Xenod... Checking is certainly an option, but against a single limper I feel like I have a good enough hand to raise. Check, push, or stop and go? |

Re: KJo in the BB
A stop n go would be terrible in this spot.
Only you can tell us whether it's a push or check because it depends on his range of limping hands. If it's been an overly tight game, I imagine the best move is to check. |

Re: KJo in the BB
I'm just starting to get back to playing SNGs a lot again. I believe Stop and Go means to call a raise out of position and then bet/push any "safe" flop. Sure there's no raise here, but I fail to see what you're saying.

Re: KJo in the BB
He's saying a SnG would be terrible here. You have too many chips to risk it on a move like this.
*Edit* I should also add a SnG is used when you have little or no FE preflop. You have plenty here. |

Re: KJo in the BB
Ahh, I see. I think I panicked a bit as far as how my stack looked in relation to the blinds. I ended up pushing, he called with A2c and I hit a couple of Kings to double up.

They have an ace with a shoddy kicker, and can't fold an ace, so they limp, and then have reverse gap principal applied when raised off their power hand. |

When they see you push and look back down at QTo or 98s, they are a lot less likely to call. But you can't expect them to fold a pretty hand like A3s. |
