all in or stop and go?

I think just in general the overall strength of your hand against his hand range is enough that you want all his money in the pot. But I'm not sure.

In my mind, the stop and go is for vulnerable hands you still think are likely best, (Say A5o as an example). It's not for those times where we can easily be called by hands we have buried.

Hands like A5, 44, KQ can easily be the best hand against a steal raise, but is not likely far in front when it is, and when you happen to be beat, your allin bet on the flop may fold out some of those better hands such as 66 or A8. TT or AK on the other hand can be significantly in front and should probably get the money in preflop.
