When playing multi-way pots in poker tournaments or cash games, it's essential to proceed with caution.

As a result, you should be betting less frequently and opt for smaller bet sizes to control the pot and avoid bloating it with marginal holdings.

🔍 Preflop:
With the $200 straddle on, Dylan Flashner limps in from under the gun+1 with pocket twos before Nik Airball decides to isolate by raising to $800 with K6 of diamonds from the lojack. Pepe calls from the hijack holding A8 of clubs, and Henry calls from the under the gun straddle with J6 of hearts. Dylan makes the call with his deuces, and the five poker players head to the flop.
💸 Flop - 4d 2d 2s:
The action checks to the initial raiser Airball on the low paired flop, and he fires a continuation bet of $2,000 with the king-high flush draw and a backdoor straight draw. Pepe folds his suited ace, Dr. P calls with the ace-high flush draw and a backdoor wheel draw, and Henry folds. Dylan slow plays his quads and just calls with his pocket deuces, only able to lose to a runner-runner straight flush.
💣 Turn - 8d:
Dr. P and Nik both improve to strong flushes on the 8 of diamonds turn but are drawing dead to Dylan’s four of a kind. Dr. P and Dylan check again, and Airball fires a second barrel of $4,200 with the third best hand. Dr. P calls with his ace-high flush, and Dylan continues to slow play by calling once more.
🌊 River - Qh:
The queen of hearts on the river is a complete blank. Dr. P leads out with a donk shove for $12,700. Dylan shoves over the top for $21,200, and the action is back on Nik, who has both opponents covered. Will he call with the king-high flush, or figure out he’s beat and find a hero fold?
