50 NL: Push or fold?

Decided upon friendly advice to drop down a notch to 50 NL, probably not a bad idea until I get a proper grip on the situation.

Villain here is 22/18/6 over 400 hands. Pretty agressive when he raises the pot, often defends his raises, and I felt I had a good chance here. Plenty outs if he has overpair and a fairly good hand if he has AK/AQ, which I thought likely.

Is folding an option? I often see these plays made and it hurts your stack if you miss or villain's got a better hand than you thought, but are they profitable enough?

Limping 98s UTG is lolbad.

Seems to be an easy shove.

ya, nobody minds opening 98s some %, limping is bad.

as played just get it in now

Yah as others have said, try not to open limp ever. If you want to play a hand, and you're the first one into the pot. just raise it up.

As played, definitely shove. This is the best flop you can hope for (aside from flopping the nuts) after calling preflop.

you pretty much fropped da nuts and youre oop facing raise. no option but shove.

When your first to act dont limp ever, as played ezzzz all in.
