Hasn't the Stop n Go been more or less discredited? I used to quite like it but it's pretty old-school now isn't it?
If I have 10bbs in the bb and someone has raised and I shove a hand like Q10 I would really like hands like QJ, K9 and up to fold and they won't. I might get things like K8, Q9 and below to fold but most of those I'm good against. However if I stop go on 862 I might get A9 and above or K10 and above or QJ to fold. I might just miss out on getting the reluctant pre-flop call from a hand I'm dominating though. Isn't it pretty much swings and roundabouts?
How does the maths work to know whether it's better to do a SnG or just shove and which kind of hands work better for each in the bb with 10bbs and after a late position raiser who has you covered has opened?

Good point, I guess if you were to post a stop n go hand in the strategy forum it would be described by many these days as a 'donk shove' on the flop.
