Thanks for storing those articles, Tysen.
In light of the Mathematics of Poker, I think it's obvious in hindsight that 88 is a bad example hand; it is clearly +cEV to push that hand from the BB vs a loose button raise.
Strictly in terms of chip EV, I think that the value of the stop n go comes in allowing you go play hands which are not profitable to push over the top of a button raise, where the button is callling 100%. Stuff like K4o and Q5s and 86s.
