Default Stop-n-Go

Someone please explain this move to me like I'm 4 years old.

I think this refers to a situation when you are out of position, bet, get raised, call, then bet out on the next round.

After seeing this in a few threads, I have some ideas on why you might want to do this but don't want to bias the answers. So under what circumstances would you do this and why?

You've got it right. If someone bets into you and you raise, then he bets right out into you on the next round, you've been stop-n-goed.

I guess it's a way to keep from giving free cards, but I never understood what makes the "stop-n-go" superior to the "3-bet-n-go".

A 3-bet and go could work in limit, but probably not too often in NL, unless stacks are deep that 3-bet is usually all in, or close to it.

The stop and Go - is usually used with middle pairs either in a blind or EP. You just call the raise pre-flop and move all in on the flop.

Where the PFR would usually call your raise pre-flop with AK, if the flop comes Q T 6 - he might fold to your flop all in bet.
