I disagree, a Stop N Go is the worst idea ever.

Anyways, you should get your sarcasm detectors serviced [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

It's hard on the internet, especially without smilies. (really, lolz)

Correct sarcasm would be "raise to t1300, over 3/4 your stack, and c/f the flop even though you have a pair and tremendous pot odds. :P"

I would call and play mostly, but not exclusively, for set value.

I voted stop and go because that is the closest thing to call. I at least still have the option to stop and stop or even chk raise if that seems right based on a 5 card hand.

Regardless of stack sizes (which also dictate that the Stop n' go is a bad move), you can't make the play, BECAUSE THE SB CALLED THE RAISE. YOU WILL NOT BE FIRST TO ACT.

If you call here, and the flop comes AKJ, and you push your nines into two players, you stink.

Sarcasm is best when it's subtle. That being said, I think it was pretty obvious he was joking.

You really fold? I think you have enough stack and enough direct odds and enough chance of stacking someone if you set up to see a flop here.

I really don't like pushing either. Yes the pot is large in relation to your stack but given how favorable the conditions for calling are, and how sizeable a stack you have even if you fold the flop, I think pushing is a foolhardy risk.

I voted fold but only because "call" wasn't an option.
