Using the stop-n-go?

[MWC]

Party 20+2 NL, 1600 started, 180 paid, ~80 left, blinds 750/1500.

I have JTs in the BB with 3400 left after posting.
Moderately aggressive CO w 19000 open-raises to 3500, folded to me.

Feeling that I had too little left to fold, I pushed.

I seem to have trouble recognizing good spots for the stop-n-go. Was this a place for it?

If so, up to what size stack would you stop-n-go? Or, how many chips would you need to have before you'd fold here?

Okay, just 1 shameless bump, I swear

This definitely isn't it. I'm no expert on the stop & go play, but you need to have enough chips that the guy will actually think about folding. Betting 1400 won't get it done against a guy with over 15K in his stack.

Position OK, Hand OK, just not enough chips.

?? are you serious pot is laying him like 8-1 do you really think a dude like that with that stack who just raised is gonna fold on any flop for 8-1 on his money??

definition from fossilman
the stop-and-go play is where you are in early position, call a bet/raise, and do so with the intention of betting all-in on the next betting round. You do this because you think you have the best hand, but you also think the opponent has a good chance of getting out on you. You know if you reraise now they will be potstuck and call, but if you wait for the next card(s) to be dealt, they could have enough room to fold.
