Playing multi-way pots can be challenging, as there are usually several players in the hand and a wider range of possible hands to consider. However, there are several advanced strategies you can use to improve your results in these situations.

1. Play tighter when facing bets. When facing a bet in a multi-way pot, you should continue with fewer hands than you would in a heads-up pot. This is because the likelihood of someone having a strong hand is increased in a multi-way pot [1].

2. Narrow your value betting range. In a multi-way pot, it's important to be more selective about the hands you choose to value bet. This is because there is a higher likelihood of someone having a stronger hand than in a heads-up pot [1].

3. Use smaller continuation bet (c-bet) sizes. When making a c-bet in a multi-way pot, it's often better to use a smaller bet size than you would in a heads-up pot. This is because there are more players in the hand who may call or raise, and a smaller bet size can help you avoid committing too many chips to the pot with a marginal hand [1].

4. Be extra selective when choosing hands to bluff with. In a multi-way pot, it's generally more difficult to bluff successfully, as there are more players to consider. As such, it's important to be more selective about the hands you choose to bluff with and to avoid bluffing too frequently [3].

By using these advanced strategies in multi-way pots, you can improve your results and avoid spewing chips unnecessarily.
 
Your decisions in multi-way pots may be significantly influenced by the size of your stack in comparison to those of your competitors. Tweak your play if the stack you have is noticeably bigger or smaller than your competitors.
