    It's a tricky one but i guess its similar to the difference between like say, a sphere and a globe shaped object.

    Flat with no hand in attempt to take pot away on a future street. Call with hand/draw that can win at showdown, or slowplay with monster.

    sigh. ok

    a flat is always a call, but a call isnt always a flat

    a flat is when someone raises/bets and you call

    a call is everything else and includes flatting

    And what is it when you call and then turn it into a flat? After the fact flat maybe , but since a leopard cannot change its spots, it must stay a call. It could however be a wolf in sheep's clothing thereby disguising the fact that the call is really a flat. The concept I am having trouble with is the flat call. Is it different than an aggressive call?

    Nice post we need more like this.

    it's funny how people made fun of the OP, yet like no one has actually stated the difference between a call and a flat.

    a flat is a type of call. a flat call is when you call a bet or raise and there are others behind you yet to act. if you are closing the action it's just a normal 'call'.

    disclaimer: no, i've never seen this actually written down anywhere, but colloquially this is how it's used.
