The weird thing is if UTG had pushed, it might actually be a fold. I'm probably a 60/40 but so what, SB will go out soon. So maybe I should have just folded it.

I kind of like it. I think it is very possible that he figures you are doing a stop'n'go, but it is also very possible that he then calls with something you beat.

I'd push preflop, and be pissed off when he turns over AK. Damn ICM

AliasMrJones · #5 09-01-2005, 06:49 PM

I'd just push this preflop.

I would hardly call it a stop n go when villain has pot odds to call with most hands. A stop n go is a huge raise to make people fold.

He is also getting pot odds to call with almost any two preflop so I like the Stop and go more than the repush because stop and go you are getting more folding equity, not much more, but slightly more.

I like a pre-flop push here better because I think you have enough fold equity to make it +EV. I usually reserve stop-and-goes for when I have absolutely no FE pre-flop but might have some post-flop. Also, a read would help here quite a bit. AQ is a hand I'm willing to fold with these stacks depending on the other players at the table, particularly the one who open raised.
