Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. MP1 posts a blind of $0.25. SB posts a blind of $0.1.
UTG calls $0.25, 2 folds, MP1 (poster) checks, 1 fold, MP3 calls $0.25, 1 fold, Button calls $0.25, SB (poster) completes, Hero checks.

Flop: ($1.50) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (6 players)
SB bets $1, Hero raises to $3, UTG calls $3, MP1 folds, MP3 folds, Button calls $3, SB calls $2.

Turn: ($13.50) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB bets $3, Hero ....

This is the time to create a sidepot, right? In case the smallblind has me beat, to make it worthwhile, I do what? (I think pushing is too much, since I don't want to push out everyone in case I'm beat by small blind, correct)

Thoughts Bet amount?

I typically raise the turn there. I want to shut out the flush draw. although that 6 isn't the best card for you as 45 just completed the straight.

I raise to $13

Raise to 10-13. This will get called by a "better" ace, but will also price out the flush draw, if that is his holding.

I did raise the turn... $9.

The LP player called, which slightly worried me that he would call a bet and a reraise.

The river brought another 3. I went all in. Got called.

The SB DID have the straight. But I took down a nice $46 pot.

The LP player had... A10. Called off his stack with a 10 kicker.
