after 3b'ing and raptor-betting in position, your opponent is definitely not in a shove/fold spot though. they're actually forced to peel or play back at you more frequently and wider than they're used to, putting them in a lot of uncomfortable and non-standard spots. for this reason and the first i mentioned it actually has a lot of value strategy-wise.
