Bluff stop-and-go on the bubble

[Irieguy]

There's a fundamental concept of SNG strategy that preempts any value this play may have.

The decisions for the remainder of this SNG are very straightforward.

I'll let others elaborate... do you see why... and it's not even close.... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I haven't read all the post here but I think in my gut if I go in to a hand thinking stop-n-go you still have the option of not "going" if the board is a disaster, which it is here. Any push signals to me "no flush" and my weak ace that i min-raised with is golden, and I call.

The point is, the guy doesn't have a stack to play postflop with in the first place. If you're going to call with a weak ace here, you were going to call preflop. This board isn't a disaster. I actually really like this board.

BTW, I don't like the stop-n-go here either. Just push the next hand.

I'd lean on UTG next hand or the hand after that.

I don't like a stop n go right here.

There is a gap concept on the bubble that applies to you but not necessarily to any opponent who shows interest in his/her hand. I think you're getting called postflop by most, if not all, of the hands that are better than you preflop.

Also, given the stack sizes and position here I think folding preflop is clearly the way to go.
