Stop and Go Criteria

[tewall]

From an article of Jeremiah Smith:

[ QUOTE ]

1. You are in one of the blinds

2. You will be heads-up

3. You have at least 8 times the big blind preflop

4. Your opponent has a similar stack size or a little more.

[ QUOTE ]

If you find yourself with a hand like 4-4 or A-10 and your blind is raised, your first impulse is to usually just push all-in before the flop. Sometimes a better option is to just call from the blind with the intention of pushing all-in no matter what the flop brings. Why? Because you give yourself an extra chance of making your opponent fold, often with the better hand.
