Loo.—The Loo is the sum put up by any one that is looed, and is either limited or unlimited; when unlimited, a person is looed for the whole amount of the pool; if limited, he is looed for no more than a certain sum, previously agreed upon, generally the price of the deal; but he is never looed for more than the pool.
Looed.—A person playing is looed when he does not take a trick or when he breaks any laws of the game.
Miss.—The same as Dumby.
Mis-deal is when the dealer gives any of the party more or less than three cards, or deals too many or too few hands, or deals out of regular order, or shows a card in dealing.
Paying for the deal.—At each new deal the dealer puts into the pool three counters, and this is called the price of the deal.
Pool.—The pool consists of the counters which are paid for the deals and of the sums forfeited by those who were looed the preceding hand.
Revoke.—When a person who can follow suit does not do so.
