What would you recommend as the correct play here? Usually this is what I find myself doing in these situations and I end up all kunfoozed.
The stop and go here is fine. I just wanted to know why he felt it was better than raising. Just wanted to get his thinking juices flowing.
The reason why the stop and go is better here: You're unsure of your hand strength. If you reraise on the flop and just get called, you have two more streets and a bigger pot to deal with. A turn raise indicates that you're beat but a turn call could mean anything. Sometimes the turn card is an ace or K that you could probably sell as you own AND you do have a chance of improving at the cost of giving him a chance to improve.
