Default Re: SB slow-play in multi-way; board double coordinated

Unless there's a trick to this game that I haven't yet unearthed, I don't know how you could 'know' that the UTG has a legitimate draw before he even acts. That said, I refer you to Confucious, who, when asked how to play top set in a large, multi way pot, said:

"Grasshoppah, when you have the best hand, and the best draw, you must get as much money in the middle as possible."

One other thing-- there's virtually nobody in this hand who's a: drawing dead, and b: would see the next card for one bet, but not two. You've probably got about 287 active gutshot draws out against you, and they're all probably going to come no matter what the price (since a fair number of them have an overcard working), and those intrepid souls who will call with red 8's here aren't going to care what the price is either. If you can't get people to fold, then charge them as much as possible to finish the hand. It's really that simple.
