Cold call: Calling two or more bets without having yet made a call. IE you're in middle position with AQs, two limpers, a raise, and you "cold call" that raise.

Smooth call: A smooth call often implies slow playing a strong hand. IE you flopped quad 7's after you limped in from middle position with your pocket pair. And you "smooth call" someone who bets infront of you, as to try and build a monster pot with your monster hand.

Thanks - this is more or less what I thought.

I am wondering if you use cold call after the flop as well - in which case, the two would appear, to the outsider, to be identical actions.
