inferno reckless + bth

i'm building a new deck idea around inferno reckless and would like a little clarification.

Inferno Reckless Summon
Quick-Play Spell

You can only activate this card when 1 monster with an ATK of 1500 points or less is Special Summoned to your side of the field while there is a face-up monster on your opponent's side of the field. Special Summon all cards with the same name as the Summoned monster from your hand, Deck, and Graveyard in face-up Attack Position. Your opponent selects 1 monster on their side of the field and Special Summons all cards with that same name from their hand, Deck, and Graveyard.

i intend to benefit from this by activating bth to this when my opponent summons.

would i chain bth to inferno or would i let inferno resolve first and start a new chain with bth?
 
You would wait until Inferno Reckless Summon fully resolves, then, provided it was the last thing to resolve in that chain (of course) you activate Bottomless Trap Hole, destroying all of their Special Summoned Monsters, provided, of course, that they are of the required ATK value.

The reason is two-fold. One, you cannot Chain Bottomles Trap Hole to Inferno Reckless Summon because the last thing to occur (in order for you to activate IRS in the first place) is your Special Summon. Therefore, unless it is the case that you AND your opponent Special Summoned simultaniously, BTH requires your opponent to SS a Monster (even if it was chained in the above senario, it still would not destroy the IRSed Monsters).

Second, Like IRS itself, BTH requires that a successful Special Summon occur. Therefore, you must wait for your opponent to finish his SS for IRS to activate BTH.

I use this combo for my Dino Deck.
 
as a follow-up

i know card effects attempt to resolve as much as possible.
in the case where i successfully irs, and the opponent has no monster slots available due to:
a). ojama tokens occupy the monster slots
b). monster slots are occupied via ground collapse

i assume in both cases, my opponent would attempt to SS a monster, the monsters would be destroyed and sent to the graveyard.
