$1/$2 NL 6 max.

A guy keeps raising my BB to $6. He stealing like crazy. So when he raises to $6 , I decide to reraise to $26 with [8c]. He calls.

Pot $53. Flop 998.

I check, he bets $42 and i check raise all in. He calls with JT.......turn J....river J

How do the poker gods have the gall to do that to a guy who has the cajones to reraise 98s?
