SB is a LAG and is either drunk or a bigger limit player blowing off steam as far as I can tell, I don't have much on UTG+1, but he's somewhat weak-tight although he sure as hell didn't play this hand like it. I realize I should have raised the flop here, but after I realized it was pointless trying to slowplay is there anywhere I slow down here? I'm positive that UTG+1 hasn't got the straight, but I can't be sure about the maniac. Do I back off anywhere here?

I don't see any reason to slow down with a maniac on one hand and UTG+1 obviously not going anywhere, subsidizing your costs.

Thanks, it's good to know I didn't screw the pooch on this one.

Amazingly, the SB had KK and UTG+1 had QQ. When do you think they should have backed off and called down? I assume nobody can find a fold anywhere in this hand due to the pot size. UTG+1 had six outs and SB had two.
