stop n go or shove?

Evening all.

Just after a general thought on this....

lets say you have around 10 - 15 BB - basically the short stack on a 9 handed table.

Lets give you 6000 chips on a 480/240 75 ante set up.

UTG ( who has you well covered) raises to 1500 and you look down and find AQs.

Now you have little or no fold equity.

Do you move all in?
or stop and go any flop?
or fold??????????? :o

can you let me know your thoughts and reasons for your choices?

Cheers

Jas

Swinebag:
I would want the double up, so would shove pre flop because this would be the best way of getting all the chips in the middle, and AQ is a great hand to go to war with considering our stack size.

The stop and go may get a fold from the raiser after the flop (not from me though) and whilst I would still be in the tourney, I would feel that I have missed out, especially if I hit on the flop.

I"m sure there is some proper maths that goes with this problem that actually works out the "correct play" but dont know what it is.

In short, I think both moves are good, but I"d save the stop and go for a weaker hand and a bit of fold equity against an opponent who is more likely to fold when he has AK, AQ and misses or has 88-JJ and overcards come up.

(PS - If I stop and go in edinburgh, I will definitely have a weak hand so call....please :D ;))
