Noun

A wager made that matches the sum of multiple bets rather than the sum of a single bet, and that does not reraise.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Example: There are four players in a game, Player A, Player B, Player C, and Player D. Player A opens the betting for a round with $10, Player B calls the $10 bet, and Player C raises to $20. If Player D calls, it would be referred to as a cold call because it involves calling both the initial $10 bet and the raise.

EXAMPLE: "There was a lot of aggressive play last hand. All five players stayed in the pot. There was a raise, a call, then two reraise and a cold call. Nobody folded."
