here's why EDOG owned me. I have about 480k and make it 45k with 88 he makes it 175k from the CO. I call intending to push a lot of flops (in retrospect while calling/raising/folding are all close in this situation, i think stop n going is meh). So I push on a 10107 flop. EDOG looks at me and says "you have to have 88 or 99 man. Ive got you beat buddy. I call." He flips over JJ, and I am fairly impressed.

I've been thinking about this hand a bit since I read about it. What was his image of you do you think? Had you been pretty aggressive? I imagine you had been. Had you called many PF reraises? How often had he been pressuring an open-raise?
From his perspective, he probably rules out AA-QQ, AK since you'd probably push with those hands (QQ may be borderline). You probably fold AJ/KQ type of hands to that sort of raise, and anything weaker as well. That leaves TT-88 or so that you'd possibly just call with there, maybe AQ. So given the flop, it's at least feasible when you push to read you for something like 99 or 88. Not sure how he's ruling out QQ, or AQ, so implicitly though.
As an aside, what made you decide on a stop and go? I don't really like that move when you still have a large amount of chips left, I like it more when you're more of a middling stack. Any thoughts on that in hindsight?
Great results in the tourney though, and great stories. Especially the bubble story.
