I don't see how these ideas fit together.
Any large river bet into a dry pot confirms we have a strong hand. The BB can never pay off with a hand we beat.
Our only hope to win a big side pot, is if we river bet medium-sized into the dry side pot, and hope BB inexplicably decides to bluff. Seems extremely hopeful that all the stars would align for that kind of payoff.
