3 betting 98s HU

[TheHip41]

easiest raise in the world.

if he 3bets, I'm probably capping. Also, 3betting preflop seems retarded.

Agree with the others. Easy raise.

The only thing that really beats you here is AA. The way he played it he could easily have that, and if he does, so what. Cap the river.

i called his 3 bet and he shows me his aces.
my thoughts were: he put me on a nine and would have folded overs. so i gave him credit for an overpair. bet/3 bet it must be aces.
he cant know that calling down with aces vs my range for a CR on this flop is too weak. so i am at least a little lucky he doesnt go to war with me (but i know he was a huge dog from the the flop til the river).

i thought a little about preflop, too. i felt a little frisky and in the first hand there is really no reason to "mix it up" or fight against a habitual stealer, but i still think i will gain at least some folding equity when we both miss the flop. what i meant with "i know i have to hit" is that one pair on a broadway board isnt enough to continue after he caps preflop.

thanks for your answers.
