I don't really understand the problem in a 2-5 spread game, but I suppose in a NL game that Player C (uninvolved player) might have some beef from an implied odds perspective if he's the last folder. If he thinks the pot is protected by the AI player, he might not be willing to continue headsup in a sidepot. If after he folds the pot becomes contested on later streets, he may feel he's been screwed.

I don't see how this could arise in a limit pot, but maybe it could.
