Flat Call – To only call a raise rather than re-raising or folding.
As opposed to just calling, “flat calling” puts emphasis on the fact that a player did not
raise, even though a raise would
normally seem appropriate.
There are several situations in which one might just “flat call” rather than choosing to re-raise. If a player has
a huge starting hand such as AA or KK, he might
slowplay with the intentions
of making a move on later streets. This is often done in No Limit Holdem because slowplaying a hand can pay huge
dividends. However, it doesn't only happen in
No-Limit, players can slow-play
their strong holdings in Limit as well when the betting limits on the
turn increase to double what it is on the
flop.
