Default Re: sidepot question

Checking the hand down when there is no sidepot is rarely a good idea. Eventhough you cannot make the allin player fold, you still need to protect your hand.

For example, in this case you have a set on the turn and you should be worried that MP3 may have two clubs. You need to bet a significant fraction of the main pot's size to prevent him from drawing for his flush.

Short answer: bet an amount that is reasonable relative to the main pot
