    I have seen 52 hands
    He seems to be quite loose, and raises too much. The only hand Iv seen him raise with was 88 (he took it to showdown so I saw it).

    why did you think the stop n go was better than pushing preflop?

    I didnt really want to go all in against the big stack preflop.

    My stack size was a bit more htan 10xBB. If i called his pfr i would be a little below 10xBB and I felt that I oculd make up the chips i lost calling the raise with some bubble steals. I was willing to call the preflop raise and see a flop, and it was either going to be push or fold on the flop.

    Being first to act, I wouldve pushed any ace flop, and any 2 spade flop. If not then I probably woudlve folded out of the hand short 150 chips.

    Is that too weak of a play with A7s on the bubble against a loose big stack? The play is exactly the same as a stop and go, but I wasnt intending it to be one.

    So you call and push on the flop unimproved?? Basically in situations like this if i think my hand is better than a large range of his hands i will be pushing over the top of his raise pre-flop. I definately don't like pushing allin with A high on a board that he could have easily hit something on.

    Is a min-raise his usual MO or are you looking at AA/KK?

    ive decided the stop n go is sooo much better than the squeeze play in SNGs.

    I must agree. The bubble is my new favorite place for this play.

    Just make sure that you can be reasonably sure of their holding
    Superb play sir...I always call 20% of my stack off with a gutshot draw. Excuse me while I race for my wallet.
