Turning Opair into a bluff @ 40nl (love this thread title.)

I'd just stacked this villain he opened utg there was 1 caller and I 3b the button with 85ss both players called.

Flop A98ss, they check to me, I bet he shoves I call, I make 2pairs otr v his AK.

Was £27 more to call, £60 in the pot.

Is it bad to try and represent a set/straight here? Think villain does have a fold button, his bet sizing looks weak to me so it's probably more likely to be 9s/Ts/Js than Q/K/Aces.....

I think my sizing is too big again too, but is this suicidal stuff again?

Ofc I have to shove the river if I take this line and he calls.

    i'd fold turn unless you're sure he will fold 99+ on the turn.

    I do think you will get folds from 99+ quite a lot here and I think it is a good spot to turn our hand into a bluff here against tight reg. However you need to be aware of the player your doing it against and probably more importantly your image. If he is a decent player he will probably realise that this raise is going to be a bluff a decent % of the time. 

    By the way if you have 2 pair or set do you re-raise turn?

    I reckon villain shoulda shove this turn as you're always bluffing with this overbet and just in case you spike a 2 outer on river........

    Good to have you back at the cash tables fella, makes things a little more interesting.  ;)

    So much riding on if oppo can fold overpairs in these situations, fink your line is fine to rep set/str but can oppo fold -

    would prefer to have a read if oppo can or can not fold overpairs espcially versus people that 3 bet btn with 85ss )
