Where the hell did this come from? 1.5 yrs old...wtf?

And of course, I agree with CTS. Grunch, there is value in getting him out of the pot, even if there is a dry side pot, so I bet that flop. There is typically added fold equity with a dry sidepot too, so we might be able to get him to fold a better hand.

I'm not disagreeing, I was just answering the question.

We want to build one with this hand, no?

IMO there are pros & cons to betting a dry sidepot here. On the pro side we have a lot of equity. There's a very good chance that we have the best hand, and even if we don't we still have a ton of equity for our draw(s). On the con side, there is a non-negligible chance that we don't have the best hand. Those times when we don't have the best hand I'm not sure how much fold equity we have. Sometimes a lot, others none at all.

When all is said & done I like building the sidepot.

1. $6... 4+ 1 for each limper pretty standard, isolate with position.

2. Unlikely MP has the best hand (assume small pairs are the worst hand), I want to push him out b/c he added $12 dead money and I want his fold equity so im bumping it to $40+ to make him go hard or go home, he will normally go home and we will isolate way ahead most of the time.

3. Have to lead VERY big on this flop, it's a monster flop for us, but our hand's power is like disposable.. we can get there and smash most other hands or not, I want to play this fast to get the money in while we are likely a slight if not monster favorite.

4. Turn as played I call to trap and raise the river, only their we're worried about is like.. 1010 or A10.. uh? which we get stacked by anyway so raising her is horrible b/c all better hands call and we lose and all worse hands fold and we lose value.

5. Calling river is insane, VALUEEEEEEEEE shove its very very very unlikely he has the best hand. (we value shove as opposed to like.. minraising or something b/c it looks like we want to steal the side pot/isolate with the shorty for the main.

Only disagreement from me is that I like shoving river with a LAG image because I think he will call with a lot of worse aces and I'm not worried about being behind.

We have to bet the flop for a variety of reasons. The old saying never bet into a dry sidepot is wrong. The river is a super easy raise and most likely a easy shove for value as long as we have an aggroish image we are def going to get called by worse.
