Before I get flamed to death, I'm going to say straight out that I wasn't one of the players in this hand. This hand has sparked some fairly interesting debate and has come up a few times over the last 2 years.
Situation: online home game of sorts for members of the prestigious newsgroup RGP from 2010. These types of games play more like $20-$50 MTTs, and have a pretty wide range of player types. This game was called at the last minute and somehow only managed to get 3 players.
BTN was a Stars MTT winning reg with a solid record including a 3rd in the Sunday Mil. He's a very tricky, aggressive, thinking player.
SB is a bit of an unknown here. Based on his posts he's a typical SSMTTer.
BB is hated on the newsgroup for his trolling and banter. He's a SSMTTer in the $1-$5 range and actually has a fairly decent online record.
That said, here's the hand:

Looking for your thoughts, primarily the BB's play, but any comments about the hand are welcome. Again, I didn't play it, so you can call me an idiot for posting it (and please do, I need that), but the only part I had in this hand was seeing it posted after the fact.
