I don't hate a S'n'G here. Depending on the raiser, I might go for it.

fold

I'm to chicken, so I'd fold.

I think it might be a +EV move, especially if you had 100 more chips to get a little more FE on the flop.

[lastchance]

Level?

How donkish is UTG?

God, I hate folding this spot, but if Villain has AA-99 and AK+AQ...

Crappage.

Yeah, if you're playing this (read: Villain sucks at poker), stop and go.

You don't have enough chips for a stop n go here. Once you call the 400 preflop, you'll only have 430 left to bet. Either go all in preflop or fold. Considering the raise, I'd fold unless you can be fairly certain villian plays weak aces or a low pocket pair this way.

In my mind this is a question of do I have too much chips for a stop'n'go, not one of having enough. That is to say, the question is whether am I committed to the pot or not. If I had a healthier stack, I'd have no trouble folding this, since I figure to be behind villains range here.

How can you have too little chips for a stop'n'go? If you have one chip left after posting in the BB, you have enough chips to s'n'g. And how exactly is shoving preflop better than on the flop?

[bennies]

Assuming we agree that the objective of the St & G is to make our opponents fold... - one chip is not enough to do this. You usually need at least half the pot, and you barely have that here.


by the way, I visited your beautiful town two weeks ago, wow, what a nice location, what great architecture, what a cool young population not choosing their wardrobe from H&M...
