A stop n go is a tournament tactic outlined by fossilman, where you call preflop and shove the flop regardless of the cards. It's intended for shorter stacks to get a fold from your opponent when it is almost certain he would call your shove preflop. It's supposed to have more fold equity.

[/ QUOTE ]I wonder if it's correct from a game theory perspective as part of an optimal strategy as you are giving a strategic option to your opponent. That doesn't mean it's bad in real life.

Also, I don't see why you cannot float OOP. In fact as part of a balanced strategy you should, I think; otherwise your range does not include air when you check-call flop OOP.

The reason why the stop n go works is this...
When you are shortstacked hands, such as AK-AJ are going to call rightfully so. Your short and yo get 66, and instead of going all in, you do the stop n go. You go all in on the flop and now you really only have to outflop AK-AJ instead of winning at the showdown. Essentially, your only playing against 3 cards ideally.
