Hand 2 from APAT Walsall

[morlspin]

Background: My Stack = 28,300 (average 44k) Blinds 2000/4000 Ante 300 Players Remaining 31 (25 paid) Players at table = 8 Majority of table is short with just the 2 stacks above average and a lot of push and fold taking place. With blinds and Antes in pot already the pot before action is 8400 Your BB with :Kc: :Jd: Guy with big stack raises to 11k and its folded round to you as the last player to act, no other action. I decided to call the raise for 7k more and leave myself with the option of folding if an ace or flushed board appeared. I had considered pushing there and then and seeing what the board would bring, as i feel he was calling my reraise of 10k anyway. I hoped for a low raggy flop so i could initate the stop-go and take it down if he wasnt holding a pocket pair. The flop comes :3d::4c::Th: and i pushed, the guy calls and shows me :Qh::Tc: and the turn and river come a blank, im out in 31st and a little dissapointed, but want to know: What would you have done in this situation?

Re: Hand 2 from APAT Walsall Stop and go was well executed, he hit the flop so you got screwed over. It happens with this move sometimes, no way to aviod it. But looking at it wider, the problem with your stop and go is that it blatently looks like a stop and go. 18 months ago you could get away with it, but I guess it's a very common move these days and people are more likley to call you with a wider range of hands. If you stop and go'd me in that position I'd call you down with Ace Rag. What would I have done in this situation, not sure depends on my read on the player, it's it's either push or fold. I'm pretty sure it's fold, you still have enough chips to play a hand latter when you have a chance to get your chips in first.
