once there's someone allin on turn, i'd bet a lot smaller on river
prob like $1 or some percentage of the sidepot
reasoning is that bluffing at the main pot becomes pretty pointless. typically i just leave the main pot alone and play for the sidepot only
fuck, i thought we should play with the main pot as well.. ugh glad i learned it today, the hard way..
no pain no gain

well think about it like this. Bluffing into a dry sidepot can be pointless in the sense that you are still going to have to show down your hand anyways versus the guy who is all in. Especially on the river where there is no need to protect your hand or anything. For example say you had 45 on this river would you ever bluff? No, because even if you fold out senorita you lose 100% of the time to girar. This mean you are not going to be called very light so like it was said above bet very small or just bet your nut hands only.
Thats not to say it cant be funny to make people fold winners to tilt the hell out of them.
Sometimes you do want to semibluff into the dry sidepot though earlier in the hand because you don't think your hand is good vs the guy with the bigger stack but will have good equity vs the shorty
