Bluff Catcher refers to a hand that can almost only beat an opponent's bluff, but cannot beat their value bet.

When calling with the Bluff Catcher, the player doesn't necessarily believe their hand is strong, but rather assesses that their opponent has a sufficiently high bluff frequency to make the call have a positive expected value (EV). Therefore, the Bluff Catcher is one of the most important decision-making concepts on the river and is the theoretical basis of Hero Call.
