[Goldmund]

This analysis is a bit lacking Jay...You also LOSE some equity with the stop-and-go, namely those times where he would have called all-in preflop, misses the flop and does not improve his hand.

There was an exhaustive analysis of the stop-and-go recently in one of the Mags, so I wont repeat that here. One question makes it a bit clearer though: If your opponent misses the flop for the preflop raise of about 1/6 of his stack would you rather have him fold for 5/6 or be in it with all of his chips, assuming he has overcards? I think the stack of Villain is too big/The preflop raise too small for a stop-and-go. Goldmund
