Does Joey have a 100% range here? Well, I've seen him do this with KK, so I think he does. In which case, the equity swings against calling and a fold is good.

This makes me think that this shortstack stop n go move is only going to be long term profitable if it is done with 100%. Am I wrong?

I'm sure he does it with big hands in order to improve his fold equity for his range (and its not a bad play). I'm guessing some flops he could consider check folding. I'm also guessing its possibly better to push certain hands preflop, I'm not sure. I think this is an interesting spot...but im not so good with the analysis.

Anytime you push a strong hand preflop, it lowers your EV when you stop and go. Of course I'm talking in purely game theory terms.
