Yeah betting makes absolutely no sense. You usually semibluff with draws to take down the pot or to have outs if you get called. So you are basically betting into an empty, dry sidepot. If there was a shortie all in and you would have a big sidepot then a bet would be better.

I've seen more and more betting into dry sidepots and the bettor showing either a draw or an underpair. This always [censored] me off - but is this becoming the norm?
