Your up against 2 opponents and only have a gut shot straight draw. Player H probably has AK-AJ or AA-TT. Player G probably has suited connectors or 99-22.

Almost certainly, you are the worst hand with no chance of improving. If you bet, you will most likely get at least one caller. Only option is to check-fold, or check-raise. If you check-raise, you might get re-raised all-in, so you’d have to fold.

This is a horrible spot to try anything tricky. The only possible scenario is to bet 300-350, to find out where your opponents are at, and then outplay them afterwards (like you hit a set).

If we bet here It will likely one of them will call. I don’t like the pre-flop call OOP. But I think we need to give this one up since we have just invested 300 chips.
