What the hell is UTG? Cold call? Limp?

[Avtar]

What do those 3 terms mean?
Please explain in depth.

UTG - Under The Gun, the first postion after the big blind. This is the first person to act after the cards have been dealt.

Cold Call - If someone bets and then someone else raises before you have acted you now have two bets to call. If you just call (don't raise or fold) then you are cold calling two bets 'cause you haven't put any money in on that round yet.

Limp - Before the flop you have a choice to fold, call, or raise. If you decide to just call the big blind you are limping in. This is a term just for preflop.

Ok, it's been plaguing me for a while now but felt kind of retarded for asking. I figured UTG meant under the gun, but still didn't know how it applied to Hold'em. lol

Thanks for the information, guys.

Did you really need the name "Avatar" that much that you would leave out the "a" just to get something similar sounding?
