Default Re: do u like this play?

stop n gos are better if you leave yourself 65-100% of the pot to lead out on the flop. Here you're left with quite a bit more than pot, so the "go" part of the stop and go is committing your whole stack to win the medium sized pot, at which point your opponent can choose to pursue or dump it, but is getting a much better offer than in a standard stopngo setup. Better to shove. Think of what hands you'll fold out with your stop and go that you wouldn't fold out with your preflop shove, and you'll realize there aren't many.
