I realize I should have learned this thousands of hands ago but ... when you're in a game (cash or tourney) and the short stack pushes all in (say 500 chips) and two remaining players call ... I know the shortie could win the pot of 1500 chips. Now suppose a side pot is created on subsequent streets from the remaining 2 players betting. Is there any situation where shortie can win more than the original pot (1500 chips)?

they may berating you because if the two (or3)of you stay in you have a better chance to knock out the shortie. people sometimes check it down in a tourney to knock out the shortie.

 it's dependent on the situation too. In the first or second hour your playing for chips so bet away. But when it gets to be important to have people eliminated like the bubble or final table, you may want to think about pushing out an opponent that can move you up the ladder by drawing to a better hand than the shorty.
