I think stop and go and fold are your two options. Stop and go is CLEARLY superior to pushing preflop. Do the math & you'll see. If he has a hand like KJo or even JTo you would much prefer him to fold on the flop.

Either way, a fold is terrible IMO.

CLEARLY, huh? Why don't you explain that to me. I prefer a preflop push.

I push. SnG no good in my book. I want all the chips I can get my hands on. It's not the bubble. You need to last a while before the money.

i'm sure you have all the mathematical skills you need to see that i'm right, if you just bother to spend the twenty minutes. equivocating in this situation is sloppy thinking.

Don't want him to get of cheap with his AT or KQ. And I won't do the [censored] math. Why don't you do it, you will see that I am clearly right. Clearly.

ilya, telling us that an SNG is clearly superior to a push based on the math and not actually posting the math isnt gonna help prove your point.

you're basically asking everyone here to go and do the math by themselves rather than you just posting it here...

I would just shove here. Maybe slightly deeper stacks would be fine for a SNG...so that the shove would cost him a greater portion or his stack.

In any event, you're ahead most of the time. Oh well. I don't do math. I go by feeeeeeeelllll, baby.

I do think the 1st thing I said made sense, anyways.
