Default Re: 98s.

I don't like raising turn or river. Raising scares away the hands he may have that you are ahead of, and costs you the more money/the showdown if you are behind, which is very likely here. If you want to continue with the hand on the turn, don't raise. Let him put more money in with his overpair. With his stats, and given the action, an overpair is possible but not exactly likely, and a weaker straight is very very unlikely. Therefor its either call or fold, and I don't think folding here against this guy is too big of a mistake, if one at all. With those stats, this guy's play screams nut peddled boat. Why would he make such a weak lead with overpair on the turn with an overpair on a board that scary in a limped pot? 88-JJ are possible, and he does have an aggression factor of 3, so calling him down seems somewhat reasonable. I think I may muck turn face up on a good day though.
