stop n go or shove?

<< < (3/5) > >>

bigredders:
why would you fold here? unless you are waiting for aces?

shove all the way here, the problem with a stop n go here is you may be letting your opponent catch up, whereas u could win the pot pre-flop

not only that, if you were losing pre-flop, there are a very limited number of hands that would fold to your stop and go, therefore might as well shove pre

I"d just fold and wait 4 a big hand  :D :D :D :D :D :D

deanp27:
default in a vacuum is shove

but if UTG is positionally aware and capable (depends also on his stack size) it may lead to a different conclusion.

in poker you need reads tho

Marty719:
Folding isnt awful depending on what type of player utg is.  If he is a tight player then we insta fold wen he brings it in utg.  We have to assign a range and act upon it.  Really we have to ask what range our oponent is raising w/ from tht position and how much of it we are beating/racing with.  It is def a fold/shove hand.  Just player dependant as with a lot of the game!

AMRN:
rarely folding, but don"t think it"s always an auto-shove.... surely there is sometimes merit in using "stop and go" here.
