Default Re: 3 way pot with Shorty allin & a sidepot, TPGK

I think what I'm looking for here is more general tips on how to play sidepots. When you make a pot sized bet, do you do it relative to the size of the sidepot or the whole pot? When the sidepot is small compared to the main pot, don't bluff? When you have a hand like TPGK, do you bet over a small sidepot for value?

The sidepot is 1/3 the size of the main pot. I played it so passively because of the whole philosophy of "don't bet dry sidepots without the nuts" and while I don't have the nuts I have a good hand. So I sort of outthought myself and played it like a donk.

If the sidepot is dry do you guys still advocate pushing the turn? Relative to the sidepot my push is a massive overbet.
