So a side pot is created as you correctly state, as the turn and river are dealt the 2 players left will bet into the side pot.
Lets make an example on your theory:
Player 1 after the flop goes all in for 300 more BB is 400, player 3 calls 300, and player 5 raises 1200.. player 3 folds (but hang on he has only put in 300) BB is 400 so the guy who raised is losing out here!...make sense? thats why no matter who before you has gone all in you must at least bet the size of the BB...phew i think that makes sense

You've confused the buggery out of me there Mike !! lol. However, basically you're saying if someone goes all in for less than the minimum bet then if there are 2 or more players who wish to call they must put the minimum bet value in?
I'll have to let every Casino I've played in, plus get in touch with the WPT and World Series of poker and let them know that because none of them play that rule. The reason I brought it up was because I thought you could just call the all in and then obviously if you wanted to continue betting on other streets a side pot would be made, but people in the LPL went with your interpretation of it.
Last night I got clarification on the matter as I was watching a WPT event and it was down to the last 3. someone went all in for less than the big blind. the 2 other players just called his all in and then checked it down. I would presume the WPT plays by the correct rules of poker and therefore the LPL doesn't. Really not an issue just that if you're playing a game it makes sense to play by the correct rules.
