Re: Dry Pot?

The other posters explained why.
I will only ever refrain from betting into a dry side pot when I have absolutely nothing and I stand to gain by a guy being knocked out of a tourney. Other than that, I will play my cards however I see fit since my main goal is to win the pot. So even in a tourney where a guy is all in, I will bet into a dry side pot to protect my hand if I have one that is worth protecting. It is more important to me to accululate chips than worry about guys being knocked out. Now this might change if say I'm down to three people at a final table and the payout between second and third is significant. Then, my play may follow a line of locking up second as a priority rather than getting some more chips.
In cash games, a person being all-in is irrelevent to any dry side pot issue. So basically this guy was a tournament moron with little cash game experience.
