    Default Bluffing vs. betting into a dry side pot

    Full Tilt Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t40 (6 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of Poker coaching - Get a free online poker lesson - texas holdem strategy for real poker

    saw flop|saw showdown

    CO (t1665)
    Hero (t1390)
    SB (t145)
    BB (t1310)
    UTG (t1710)
    MP (t2780)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with , .
    UTG calls t40, MP calls t40, 1 fold, Hero calls t40, SB raises to t145 (All-In), 1 fold, UTG calls t105, MP calls t105, Hero calls t105.

    Flop: (t620) , , (4 players, 1 all-in)
    UTG checks, MP checks, Hero bets t400, UTG folds, MP folds.

    Turn: (t1020) (2 players, 1 all-in)
    .

    River: (t1020) (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: t1020

    Results in white below:
    SB has 8c Jc (straight, nine high).
    Hero has 2d 2h (three of a kind, twos).
    Outcome: SB wins t1020.

    When I bet the flop, the UTG went insane. He said that he would have rivered the stone cold nuts.

    I understand not bluffing into a dry side pot, but I have no compunction at all about betting it when I hit something as big as a set.

    Opinions?

    Bluffing into a dry side pot is bad. Flopping a set and betting into a dry side pot is not bad. I'll typically bet into a dry side pot with 2 pair or better myself.
    I study at KRE8R's School of Bankroll Management.

    If you IM me looking for money or a trade, you will be blocked.

    There are only a few instances where I would check my set instead of betting into a dry pot with a board like that. The main one is if I am on the money bubble or a satelite seat bubble. Other wise I am betting to build the pot and protect my hand especially on a draw heavy board.

    I have a question about poker rules...
    If I understand the rules right, SB is not eligible to your 400 flop bet because it is outside his side pot. No?
