    Default ($27) Prime place to stop-n-go?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB (t1499)
    Hero (t1152)
    UTG (t1448)
    MP1 (t2188)
    MP2 (t2530)
    CO (t2793)
    Button (t1890)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 5, 5.
    3 folds, CO calls t200, 2 folds, Hero ???

    ---

    CO hasn't been limping that frequently.

    Still, I have a shrinking stack, is this a good place for the stop-n-go?

    Do you feel you have little FE preflop?

    A stop n go can't be faulted here imo.

    Why would a stop-n-go be any different than shoving now? Hero has to act first after the flop.

    I could see calling just to see the flop and then decide, but my understanding of a stop-n-go (which could very well be wrong) is to shove no matter what on the flop.

    No, your hand is too strong.

    Just shove, it's very high prob that everyone will fold. Why risk someone hitting a flop? What would you raise to? 200?

    the true power of your hand is comparable to having 88-TT, i.e. don't want action. flops kill these, esp. with multiple callers. push this everytime.
