Tip # 44 of 52, Call with a toss-up hand if someone else bets.

You shouldn't fold a toss-up hand on the river because, by definition, a toss-up hand is one that you feel has about a 50 percent chance of being good. Even if the pot is very small, you are getting the right price to call. In fact, there is really no situation in limit hold'em in which you should fold a toss-up hand on the river, as you should be getting a price of at least 3-to-1 or 4-to-1 on an even-money proposition. (This is called an overlay.)

One of the worst mistakes you can make in hold'em is to fold the best hand on the river. If you play long enough, you will occasionally be guilty of this error. Don't let it happen with your toss-up hands, though. With these hands, there is reasonable doubt, and whenever there is reasonable doubt, calling is far better than folding. If you start folding toss-up hands on the river in an attempt to protect your chips, you will have no chance of beating the game.
