Stop n\' go allin?
 

Recallme started a thread recently in which he asks about the minimum pocket pair to push over a BB reraise from SB, when the BB seems pot committed. Recallme's thread reminded me of a much earlier thread by Greg Raymer, which I believe dealt with similar situations in tournaments.

I think Raymer's thread argued that you shouldn't 4-bet allin if you have a hand like 99 that you are going to felt when you know you have no fold equity PF. Instead, you should call the reraise and open-push any flop (even AK2). This is because the times in which you occasionally get folds from hands that dominate you (e.g., 1010) or still have decent equity in a big pot (e.g., when opponent has AQ preflop and flop comes K27) makes this more profitable. I'm curious what the flaw is in this thinking, because I don't really see people using this move. Most people just push over PF with 99 or whatever if they are going to felt.

well the stacks are deeper in cash so the stop n go is just used less. there is no flaw in the thinking, it's a powerfull play in mtts.

I'm surprised at the lack of interest. bump maybe more people will see it.
