Escape, the first one is not similar to a stop and go. It IS a stop and go.

There was a great thread on 2+2 where Greg Fossilman Raymer explained it, and it's in Harrington's book, of course. It works beautifully, in the right place.
The second, the delayed continuation, is absolutely the most elegant play I've ever run across. I used it time and again, yesterday, and nobody caught on. First, most have never seen it, and second, it's totally disguised. I played this hand with the most worthless cards you could ask for and took the pot. If an opponent bets the flop, you simply raise it, as if you were trapping all the time. He has a helluva time putting you on a hand. It's beautiful.
You simply can't depend on having the goods every time. I'm notoriously tight. I don't play garbage hands very often. But I'm working hard on learning how and when to make moves which allow me to win chips without a hand. At the limits we play, bluffs are common. Most times they are naked bluffs. Guys crash and burn in EP betting garbage, but folding decent hands when they are outplayed by someone who knows what they're doing. It's very cool to know you've screwed a guy and he has no clue. Definitely makes the game more fun. And very much more profitable.
Anybody else have favorite moves?
