The correct way to play is to try to protect you top pair and made hands by betting enough to make the pot/implied odds too low for drawing hands to call against you. If they are stupid enough to call anyway, they WILL draw out and beat you sometimes but in the long term you will win money from them under that scenario. If they fold, you take down the pot right away.
High cards play better against fewer players.
Small suited connectors and small pocket pairs play better in multi-way pots because you won't hit the set, STR8 or flush that you need to win very often, but when you do you want the pot to be big to make the odds high enough to profit over the long haul. The huge hands win a very high percentage.
Pocket pairs will also play OK head ups.
