Default $11t: Level 1 - 88 makes set on flop

Full Tilt $11 Turbo, Big Blind is t30 (9-handed)

UTG (t1350)
UTG+1 (t1470)
MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1500)
MP3 (1470)
Hero (t1530)
Button (t1710)
SB (t1470)
BB (1500)

Preflop: Hero is in CO with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

<font color="red">UTG raises to t60</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, MP1 calls t60, <font color="gray">2 folds</font>, Hero calls t60, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, SB calls t45, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>

Flop: (t270) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
<font color="red">SB bets t30</font>, <font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, MP1 calls t30, <font color="red">Hero raises to t200</font>, SB calls t170, MP1 calls t170

Turn: (t870) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, MP1 checks, Hero ...?

No reads on anyone.

1) Is the call ok preflop? There's a UTG min-raise and a random MP call, so I think I can call for set value in favorable position.

2) What's my line on the flop? In retrospect, I think I need to raise a bit more, but I'm not sure.

3) What do I do with the turn? The T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] doesn't look that scary (I'm a lot more afraid of a 4 or 9 here)... but what should I lead out with? A standard bet doesn't leave you enough to get away from a scary card on the river.

Thanks.

Its an ok call I think. Folding is fine too.

I think youre right about raising more, especially with more than one opponent still in the pot. I probably make it ~300 here.

Youre right, betting less than all in doesnt make sense at this point. I probably push. Theres a chance one of them has a straight, but you have lots of outs if so. You take down a sizeable pot a lot of times. You get called by idiots with weird random stuff a lot of times. With so many draws, any other play doesnt make sense to me.
