LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

 Yeah, looks good to me. UTG waking up is a bit of a concern, but if he 2 outered us, so be it.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

 I don't like raising the flop in this bloated multiway pot. If we raise the flop, the next guy is still getting 17:2 odds on a call, so they'll call with any gutshot or straight draw (basically correctly, including implied odds). But a raise may lose people chasing an ace/pocket pairs/bottom pair, which would be bad, we want to keep those uber weak draws in to pay us off later on if they catch something more.

I don't. Somewhere I read in a poker book once that the bets are twice as big on the turn than on the flop. So unless I think I can get big-time action on BOTH streets AND not because someone has a bigger monster than I do, or I feel I need to ram and jam to protect my hand, I'd rather be aggressive on the later streets.

Your mileage may vary, however.
