You might want to run some numbers before you call this terrible. First of all, you are not calling off 1/4 of your stack, you are investing 400 more chips, which is either 400/1952 or 400/2152 depending on whether the stack sizes are before or after blinds are subtracted. My play works better in the latter case but I think I can make a case that it is still superior to a stop and go in the former.

Realize that we are winning far more times than just when we hit our set, including some hands that may be better than us. I personally despise the stop and go, because it totally ignores flop texture. Suppose you decide to do it here. The flop comes A Q T, all one suit, which does not match either of your nines... to go all-in on the flop here is suicide!

Unless the other guy, hypothetically, might fold something like JJ without a card in that suit, or any hand with 1 low card in that suit which should technically not be folding to your stop and go. Then it's awesome. There a few hands which might fold incorrectly even on a flop like that.
