Frequently used in the past tense, since one rarely knows it at the time.
- FLAT CALL - To call a bet. Emphasizes that the caller did not raise.
- COLD CALL - Calling both a bet and raise at the same time, as opposed to calling a bet then later calling a raise made after the call.
- FIRE - To make the first bet in a betting round. Used to emphasize that the player bet when a check was possible, showing strength.
- FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
- CAP - To cap the betting is to make the last permitted raise in a round.
