in no way does this qualify as a stop in go, as there was no 'stop'

[DannyOcean_]

What is this stop n go and how do i use it?

[IFoldPktOnes]

A stop n go is where you commit yourself by calling preflop and then push any flop in the hope for more fold equity then just shoving over preflop. This explains it pretty well.

You would be surprised what donks are capable of...

Edit: oops not a good example either, you are supposed act first on the flop.

[sippin_criss]

LOL u cant stop n go in position

[Jbrochu]

That's not really a good example. You need to be first to act after the flop.

[IFoldPktOnes]

Haha yeah I just realised, I just picked that hand randomly from my collection of great donkament moments [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Best part of the stop n go portion of the "book".
"Stop-and-gos are rare, and when they do arise, win very small amounts of equity because most of the time the result is identical to moving in preflop. The amount of discussion this play has generated online is way out of proportion to its value. If you are not already an advanced player, forget about stop-and-gos and concentrate on developing flawless basic skills. Once you have mastered the basics, it makes sense to add at least the risk-free stop-and-gos (such as the 22 example in the paragraph above) to your repertoire."

CheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeseMoney


I agree.
