Default Re: (22) Good spot for a stop and go?

i'm not saying a stop and go is wrong, but
when you're throwing in the rest of your stack on a stop n go, you're essentially freerolling him to stack you when he hits, yet he folds if he's behind. i'm not sure if this is the best situation for it.

if this is the case, then a stop n go is never right.

Do you ever use the stop and go? Also would you fold or push?

honestly I hate to stop and go. it's very rare that i'll do it unless i've basically committed enough chips by pre-flop raising that i'm better off seeing 5 cards.

there are some players who use it very well but it has it's uses for it. the flop that came down is conducive to a stop and go. I probably would have pushed preflop.

I dont think by pushing I am getting my opponent to put chips in with a dog.

If he was raising
22+,A2s+,K8s+,Q8s+,J8s+,T7s+,97s+,86s+,75s+,65s,A2 o+,K8o+,Q8o+,J8o+,T7o+,97o+,86o+,75o+,65o, which is about top 45% and calling my push with all of this hands I am a 43.6% dog.
