We were talking about
calling 3-bets with 98s if you were the raiser. You should only be doing that if you have position, such as when you open in the CO and the SB 3-bets.
I tend to avoid 3-betting 98s for reasons I won't go into here, but I will sometimes 3-bet 76s, 65s, 54s on the button vs an MP or CO open (especially if I know the tendencies of my opponent), as those hands play pretty well as 3-bets in position. Until you've learned how to play 3-bet pots with value hands (QQ+ and AK), I would not advise playing bloated pots with 6-high. You really need to learn the basics of position and valuebets/bluffs before you start 3-betting light. I played for about 3 years before I felt confident enough to 3-bet with A5s, let alone 54s.
