Default $11 AK, missed 8 high flop... stop n go ok? (nice pot)

I have read about stop n go, but never used it until recently... and now I am using a lot (probably too much... as I often do when I am learning/applying something new)

So I raise w/ AK and miss the flop. Better to c-bet, push, or check and fold?

Seat 10 is the button

Seat 6: Reseda ( $845 )

This isn't a stop and go. It's a continuation bet. And a bad one at that. What do low level players like to do? CALL. So why even c-bet? The name of the game at the lower levels is value bet...

This isn't a stop-and-go (right?). I always thought a stop-and-go was calling pre-flop (not raising) and then jam the flop...

It's not a stop and go.. and I don't like a cont bet here either.. it's a rainbow 8 high flop into two opponents. Check-fold for me.

By the way with treecat0320 so low preflop I might have raised some crazy amount like t560 exactly, to let Julia1969 know what was up - I have a hand I want to be all in with the small stack with, and to get the hell out of the way.

Well the blinds are only t30... and If I am going to bet t560, I might as well go all-in... I am not folding if Julia comes over the top...

Personally, I'm not a big fan of raising AK out of the blinds in this situation. Higher blinds or if the OP had a stack of say 500 or below, I'd push pre-flop. But with low blinds and a good stack, I'd usually just check here and play from there. If I did raise, it would probably be a bit more in order to let them know that I'm serious.

But in this exact spot, I'm not going to commit my whole stack with a couple of high cards on a whiffed flop, especially after getting multiple pre-flop callers.

So in your example, assuming the same situation, but you raised more t150-200, whatever, you're check/folding the flop?

Against two callers, that's probably what I'd do. Maybe I'd even throw some stupid, weird mini-bet out there in order to try to get a free turn. (After all, this IS an 11.) [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Alot of players freeze up against such behavior. This is what sucks about playing hands OOP. But the thing is, I don't want my stack getting severely hurt this hand if I miss. It just seems to me that with mulitple callers after that flop, your hand basically sucks.

You make money at the 11s by value betting, not by bluffing. So yes, I'd check /fold or maybe mini-bet and try for one 'free' card. Shut 'er down. For all these reasons (healthy stack, low blinds, OOP, disguised hand if you hit) I prefer checking pre-flop.
