Stop and go
Also: stop-n-go
A short-stack tournament play: instead of moving all in before the flop, you call the raise and then push your remaining chips in on the flop, whatever it brings. The point is to buy fold equity you would not have had preflop.
The logic is that an opponent who would call a preflop shove with two overcards has to make a much worse decision after a flop that missed them. Against a caller holding king-queen, a shove preflop gets called; the same chips going in on a flop of eight-five-deuce often do not.
It only makes sense with a stack too small to raise-fold but large enough that the flop bet is a meaningful threat, and it is worst against opponents who call anything. Experienced players regard it as situational rather than standard.
