even if it is bad etiquette.. bluffing at a pot that has no money is a stupid thing to do. And i dont play tourneys anyway.. but i meant more if one guy bets into the side pot, then i may raise to eliminate anyone else in the side pot that may have called the smaller bet and be heads up, or just to take the now bigger sidepot as it is... but even for betting at the nothing pot.. if you know you're playing a flush chaser in this pot and you have nothing in your hand, why let him see a free card? Make him pay for the turn and river and fold when he misses. If its bad etiquette to do that then you're almost saying that if theres a side pot then anyone on a drawing hand is entitled to see the turn/river for free.
