45suited,

counting on loose passive players to value bet marginal hands or bluff in multiway pots is not the best idea

Thanks for the advice, I'm relatively new to this game. (Thousands of NL SNGs the past couple years.)

In my relatively short time though, I've found that once a player takes the lead, they hate to give it up. I don't think that I said that UTG was loose passive, he limped too much, but I didn't have a solid read because it was early.

FWIW, UTG had JJ and BB had 67.

It worked out well this time, but those guys would have called the bets anyway if you led the turn and river. What'll happen a lot of the time though is the turn or river will check through, so it's best to bet there.
