I miss Party =(

sb check/raise flop since he expect BB to take the pot. BB feels commited and calls

Re: $55 PP What are they thinking?
 

The 4 is a pretty easy read and therefore a shove, what they didn't consider is that they were possibly pricing BB in.

As far as BB calling either he's seen SB shove air here before or, of course, it's possible he wasn't thinking at all. This may be a spite/frustration call due to being on tilt from contantly getting played back at.
