To call both a bet and a raise at the same time.

SoundPoker Says: For example, assume in a hand of Texas Hold'em there are 3 active players, John, Mike and Susan. John limps in under the gun, Mike raises it to two bets, and Susan calls the two bets. In this scenario, the original bet by John and the raise by Mike was Cold Called by Susan.
