Tip # 32 of 52, Generally call (rather than raise) when you are drawing to the best hand and there has been a bet to you.
As always, a major consideration in determining whether to stay with a draw is whether the necessary pot odds are present. You have to give up some of your lesser draws, particularly if the pot is small. Sometimes your draw presents a close decision between calling and folding. If this is the case, consider whether the pot can still be raised behind you. When the bet comes from your right, and several players have yet to act, you should tend to fold marginal hands, as you cannot be sure of how much it will end up costing you to stay in the pot. Conversely, if you are last to act (that is, the bet came from your left), it is correct to call more loosely, since you Don't fear a raise.
Occasionally you can raise on the turn as a semibluff when you hold a good draw. However, as in betting a draw as discussed in Tip 31, this is often an expensive proposition. In fact, this play is riskier, as one of your opponents has already shown interest in the hand by betting. Raising with a draw on the turn is most likely to work when you have few opponents and when the bettor is a player you know to be capable of laying down a decent hand. Don't make this play against chronic calling stations*; you will be handing them money if you do. For the most part, avoid raising as a bluff in low-limit hold'em games. Too many players will call you down, believing they are beat but nonetheless incapable of releasing their hands.
Calling station: A player who calls on the least pretext, often with hands that rarely win against legitimate bets. A calling station is someone who feels he just has to "keep you honest."
