Well, it's not quite a stop-and-go, because after all where's the stop?

That said, there's some merit to not pushing pre here; the critical question is whether the action he gains from worse hands that would have folded outweighs the equity he loses the extra times he loses. I don't think that flop FE is a big part of Strife's play here (in practice; I guess it was in his head, though).

If you're trying to drum up some action, I actually think you should consider a limp in that spot. It's amateurish and makes you exploitable; at $4 tournaments it can also be wildly effective.

Good luck,
