what is a stop and go?

Ive read this in some posts, but I dont know what it means.Its supposedly a tactic used in no limit.

Actually it's used in NL, PL, and limit. It's when you bet preflop, check the flop, and either raise a bet on the flop, or bet out on the turn.

you dont have to raise preflop.Say I have T9Flop is TT9I bet, someone raises, I call.Turn xI bet...That's a stop n go.I stoped on the flop and went on the turn.

question: not that it really matters much, but say in your example wrto, I bet the flop, get raised, call. then check/raise the turn. is that considered a stop n go? and a question with more relevance...What are the best times to use stop n go's? WHen you hit huge on the flop obviously, nut flush or boat or something, but what about draws? I like betting out my draws and then calling a raise, betting out if it hits on the turn...is it better to go for a check/raise and free card, or is this better in bad position like from the blinds?

Your situation is more of a slow play and gives out a little more information, stop and go is more of a "hey, i just hit something"

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is SB with [Th], [Tc]. MP1 posts a blind of $1. 3 folds, BB calls, MP1 folds, CO calls, Button calls.Flop: (9 SB) [6c], [5d], [Ts] (4 players)Hero bets, Hero calls, CO calls.Turn: (9 BB) [2c] (3 players)Hero bets, Hero calls, CO calls.River: (21 BB) [3d] (3 players)Hero bets, CO calls, Button calls.Final Pot: 24 BBI used a stop and go this hand to try to disguise my strength on the flop - CO was a total rock, so I figured he must have flopped an underset. (Button had just sat down, so I didn't have a clue what he was betting.) So to try to keep my action going on the turn, I slowed down on the flop (plus I thought maybe CO would cap it anyway, but he didn't), planning to bet out on the turn. I'm not sure if the turn gets capped if I had capped the flop or not.What do you guys think? Good move, or FPS?

I like it...only real hand that's worrisome is 78 or something

the stop-n-go set ine is one of my favorites, very nice. Its best to use it against aggressive opponents

As it turned out, it was the dream situation on the flop - CO had 66 for middle set, and button had 55 for bottom set. Ka-ching!
