25NL Final Ignition spewy hand of the night (1 Viewer)

Honestly you never see this type of stuff on ACR.
Folds to Hero who opens KTs in CO for 3BB. SB and BB call. Yay! Multiway OOP!

Decent flop. Folds to Hero who bets small (about 1/4 pot) which induces a massive X/R from the SB.
WTF? Ok so 1/4 pot looks weak, I'll admit but that just sems insanely large at 7x.
BB folds and Hero suspiciously calls with the FD and 2 overs. Fingers crossed on this one.

9T gets there on the turn but otherwise a blank and V X. This X seems super weak after his huge X/R so I bet 1/2 pot into him.
As Ed Miller says "you check, I bet."

And he folds. Will be interesting to see his hole cards tomorrow. I'm guessing air on the X/R.
This is the sort of cr@p that is standing between me and beating 25NL Zone consistently.
Sometimes I get it wrong and he has 78s. It probably really is +EV to fold the 2BB bet to his raise given the size.

Here's one to show that I sometimes get it very, very wrong. This is Ignition as well.

Folds to SB who RFI 3BB. Hero calls.

Very connected flop and V X. With the Q-high FD I bet just under 1/2 pot.

V X/R. Note to self - I may think this could be spewy but it is a sign of strength.

I'll show him - I reraise to 2x and he calls. Note to self - another sign of strength - give up now.

V X turn and I jam. Baaad idea.

He flopped the straight flush and I threw my stack at him! Recognizing signs of strength is important!!
