Default Re: sidepot question

The biggest reason to check down when another player is all in is to move up in the money. Clearly at this stage where the blidns are at 50-100 you are not in the money and there is very little or no value in seeing this player knocked out.

I like the way you played it here, you likely have the best hand on the turn and you need to value bet, which you did and when he comes over the top you need to figure out his range.

KK - doubtful
QJ - Maybe, but the odds are so slim that i think u can ignore it and dismiss it as a cooler if he does have it.
TT - pretty unlikely as well

I think u are ahead here an overwhelming amount of times and I like the reraise.

I am assuming you lost the pot since you posted it, but don't get results oriented, you made the correct play IMHO.
