Re: Dry Pot?
On occasion it could be theoretically correct to bluff into a dry side pot. If C is all in and A figures:
B (medium strength) > A (mediocre) > C (bad hand)
A might bluff out B to try to win the pot. That's rare, though, so it's usually fine to check it down.
But this is a reasonable value bet, expecting to get called by lesser jacks and some pocket pairs. Also there are two bad overcards against which AJ needs protection so I think it's fine.
