Stop 'n' go - this is it, right? ($6.50)

[taipan168]

Is this the right use of the stop 'n' go? MP1 and BB are donkeys - 55/25 and 65/25 respectively. What else are my options when I'm this short?

The reason I'm so short is that MP1 reraised me and called my push at 15/30 blinds with AJo and made trip Js on the flop.

A stop n go is calling a raise then pushing the flop. This looks like more of a ill call the SB then push the flush draw on the flop cause im short and hopefully they will fold and if i dont ill have the odds to draw out.

Obviously it was nice that I flopped a flush draw, but I would have shoved the flop regardless of what came.

im just saying whats 335 chips to them, thats 2 to 1 on money

The idea being that it looks like you hit your flop, right?
In this case, your stack is so small, you will likely get called anyway.
I'd rather do it with the proverbial 8-10xBB stack, but your choices are pretty slim in this spot. Right now, it's a pot sized bet from the short stack. The "all in" factor is pscychologically lessened a bit. The good new is, you will likely double or even triple up if you hit your 35% flush and people were calling you down with overs...

push preflop

push preflop

thats what i thought. if you got read on limper then f'it and push.

as plyed i dont like calling SB when im short. easy push on the flop. tho i qs the fact you push anything here regardless.

your getting 2:1 for the flush if anyone calls so what more can you ask for.

Here is an example of a stop N go.
100/200 blinds.
your stack is 1k , villians is 2k.
Villian raises to 500 on the button and he has been stealing a lot so you can't put him on too good off a hand. You look down at J10. If you push it all in here you will be called by any hand. So you decide to just call, then because you act first push any flop. Now with only 2 cards to come rather then 5 villian will fold more often.


Your hand is like, I am shortstacked, i got a cheap flop, I'm going to semi-bluff all in with a flush draw.
