Bluffing into dry sidepots...when dumb people get dumber

[bdawg31]

Take this for example:

Say a short stack goes all-in. You (BB) and the SB call. You both have semi-big stacks. The short stack went all-in for about 4 BBs - so the pot is semi-significant in size. You have pocket 5s. Flop comes 10,8,6 - two clubs. SB checks to you - do you bet? That SB could have a flush draw, str8 draw, A6 (bottom pair - which you can probably get him off of). Are you going to let him get the free turn and river?

I just think to blindly say "Never bluff into a dry pot" is a pretty broad statement. Although i guess in my example, that is not really a 'bluff' - but i am guessing that someone betting his/her 5s in that situation after the flop would get a rise/tirade out of some of you just the same.

edit here: I just read the Danny N articles after posting this, and I think his example he gives in #5 of his second article is what i was trying to bring up - although he does a much better job of making that point.
