How often should you call with top pair when you get jammed on, on the river when no draws complete or even when draws complete?

I call 100% of the time unless I should be calling 0% of the time, but I also call somewhere in between as well.

Pretty vague, huh?

If you was playing live id say rarely(call) but since we are talking online they most likely have trips or 2 pair or bluffing

I think it depends, what happened pre-flop? Did you raise last one?
If yes, when you hit top-pair post-flop I would raise.
When you called a raise pre-flop or just limped I would check, when then get raised -> Call
When the raiser checks you can raise or at showdown, when he raises then re-raise.
If you're not sure check.. check... and check through :)
If you have a draw and complete then raise.
When you can't complete the draw, question is how did you play this draw?
Will your opponent would believe you a bluff and then fold? :)

There's no universal rule to this. It depends on a lot of things (stack sizes, tournament stage, quantity and quality of the opponents, your goal in tournament etc.), but I would say, if you feel like calling - call, and opposite. Only you make the desicion and you know the best. I would call more than fold😊

From experience, even with a dry board, I almost always fold because there’s a wide range of hands that beat you i.e. over pairs like kings or aces. Trips also beat you. Two pair also beats you.

When someone jams on you, I would only call if 1) you can cover it 2) you have Ace top pair with a strong kicker like A10s+

If your going to call when someone jams. You better have a good read that you have at minimum the better kicker with top pair.

The goal is to try to be in the lead when calling a jam.
