This is a pretty standard stop and go to create fold equity..but it surprises me the percentage of players that either arent aware of the play, or dont use it.
UTG +1 was a donk. I dont recommend using the play against good players, since most of them can spot a stop and go from a mile away. BB was a good player but i knew he couldnt call with anything but a good hand with the original raiser behind him.
Obv i got a little lucky, but this hand is the sole reason i ended up making the money in this tourney (the 100r).
