17+11=28BB pot size after our call. A pot sized raise is 28BB on top, making the total raise 40BB.
The easiest way for me to calculate the pot size is 3x the action, plus the rest of the money in the pot (not counting money already in front of the potential raiser, obviously.)
3*12+.5+3.5 = 40BB.
If stacks were deep enough and UTG wants to re-pot then it would be 40*3+.5+12 = 132.5BB. However if UTG folds and MP wants to re-pot, it would be 40*3+.5+3.5 = 124BB. The difference is because of the different amount of dead money.
