Hero Call
英雄跟注
A hero call is a dramatic call made with a weak hand against what you believe is a bluff. It requires a strong read and courage to make. Successful hero calls are memorable, but calling too often with weak hands is a leak.
Example
You call a river all-in with third pair because you read your opponent's story as a bluff.
