[Cybertim]

Heard someone talking about a "stop and go" and assumed its some kind of bet.  anyone know what it is?

[RFC]

Stop       .....      Carry on

when you flat call a pre flop raise and then push/make a bet on the flop no matter what it is.

ohhhhhhh mrs.....

[Cybertim]

hehe    sounds a bit like me trying to get home after a night out

[TightEnd]

Typically a player in the blinds who calls a raise and then bets out on the flop

Just calling the raise rather than re-raising is the stop......betting out, out of position, is the Go.

Betting out specifically to win the pot there and then regardless of the cards

The term stop and go has evolved, but originally it was made for those siuations in the tournament where someone raises you in the BB. You dont have many chips and if you go all in you KNOW they will call, there is no way they can pass even with 23os.

You know your hand is probably ahead, but you really would prefer to have them fold than call the bet. Say you have 22 or AJ etc.

So if you call and the flop comes Q93 and you now push in with your 22 you give your opponent the chance to fold his 67 etc.

It's the last ditch attempt of tournament survival.

I always thought it was a penalty in motor racing for an infringment during the race. the car would be called into the pits and forced to "stop" for an alloted time before being allowed to "go".......

But then monkeys arent really well educated when it comes to shampoo and conditioner

quite right, quite right - perhaps the hair product is more of an advertising ploy used by the motor racing industry to make masculine males more aware of hair products in the hope they would become better groomed

Hi Matt, just for your info ---- "shampoo" and "conditioner" is quite similar to picking fleas off and eating them...hope this clarifies matters
