Multiway pot — different game?

[gabriel31]

How do I change my strategy when the pot has 3+ players? It seems more difficult to play draws.

Multi-way pots are a lottery. Especially when it goes to 4,5,6 players etc. not sure there is any actual strategy at that point, it’s all the luck of the draw.

Muti-way is way trickier to play so that’s one reason why we try to raise and get the hand heads up. But multiple players usually means we are checking a lot, doing a lot of pot control and never bluffing. Someone always has something in these spots so play carefully unless we have the nuts then figure out a way to get the best value without blowing everyone out of the pot.
