One for Trix, Nate, Ace-high steal.

[Joe Tall]

In Nate's recent "Too Tight" thread he mentioned something about liking 98s over Ax in steal situations. Trix also asked if I could post an Ace-high hand after making a quick comment to Nate. Here is such a hand.

Opponent in this hand has yet to fold a BB in 57 hands as he plays 70% of them, likes to bluff on raggy boards and raises preflop a lot w/marginal holdings. You know, a typical HUSH poster.
