The Laws of Put
- If the dealer accidentally discover any of his adversary's cards, the latter may insist upon a new deal.
- If the dealer discover any of his own cards in dealing, he must abide by the deal.
- When a faced card is discovered during the deal, the cards must be reshuffled and dealt again.
- If the dealer give his adversary more cards than are necessary, the adversary may call a fresh deal, or suffer the dealer to draw the extra cards from his hand.
- If the dealer give himself more cards than are his due, the adversary may add a point to his game, and call a fresh deal, or draw the extra cards from the dealer's hand.
- No bystander must interfere, under penalty of paying the stakes.
- Either party saying "I put", that is, "I play", play cannot retract, but must abide the event of the game or pay the stakes.

Famous quotes containing the words laws and/or put:
“A pun is not bound by the laws which limit nicer wit. It is a pistol let off at the ear; not a feather to tickle the intellect.”
—Charles Lamb (17751834)
“We will not be put off the final goal
We have it hidden in us to attain,
Not though we have to seize the earth by the pole
And, tired of aimless circling in one place,
Steer straight off after something into space.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
