It almost makes sense...but still doesn't! Not in SG world anyway, but I don't doubt there are more than one ways to skin the cat here.
For me, I don't like raising because you are driving out players that probably aren't harmful to you that would otherwise sweeten the pot for you and give you all the odds you need. If you know you are getting 3 or 4 players coming with you, no problems having to throw in extra bets here, you are getting your price.
Now I am all for betting draws and rasing on the come when I think I can win pots there and then, as you say that is the 1000 cuts way of winning at these levels. However, this isn't one of those situations. If you play the hand, you aren't going to take it down uncontested here - not in a million years. You are going to have to hit your flush and win a big pot with multi-customers, period.
