It's push or fold preflop - once you've decided that you're too short to not play the hand (which looks fine), you have to commit all your chips. A stop 'n' go is just a delayed push, and looks like a decent plan here.

If you're planning a stop 'n' go you have to go through with it. It doesn't change anything compared to pushing in preflop but you have a shot at having some FE by pushing the flop instead. It doesn't matter if you think you have no FE when you see the flop - you're committed.

id probably get rid of this pf, but as played you have committed yourself and put half your stack in already so folding the flop is extremely ugly

ive never played $114, and maybe I am wrong, buuut this is either a push/fold situation for me and im usually folding in this spot. id like to hear what others have to say though because your stack is so small. stop and go might work but you cant call and then shut down on the flop.

I don't play this high, but I'd usually stick it in here with only 2.5BB left after my SB next hand. It's an OK hand and we're nowhere near the bubble so I probably go for the double up while I still have a stack worth doubling up.
