To bluffcatch in poker means to call a bet with a hand that will only win if our opponent is bluffing. The term bluffcatcher refers to the type of hand we hold when bluffcatching, typically a mid-strength or weak holding. Once a hand is strong enough to start beating some of our opponent’s legitimate made hands, it should no longer be referred to as a bluffcatcher. Bluffcatching is an important aspect of poker – if we don’t bluffcatch in the right situations our opponent will be able to get away with bluffing too often.
The term add-on describes extra chips we are allowed to add to our tournament stack in exchange for a fee. Add-ons are usually only available at one specific point during a tournament, typically after the ‘rebuy’ period is over. Add-ons are hence different from rebuys, since players may rebuy as many times as they want during the rebuy stage of a tournament. Add-ons however,can only be purchased once and only after the rebuy period has ended. (Of course, the precise rules could vary depending on the tournament.)
