Editing 500 (card game) (section)

===Misère and open misère ===
Misère and open misère are two special contracts in 500. A ''[[Misère]]'' (also called ''Nullo'' (sometimes pronounced ''Nello'') or similarly) bid means the bidding player is trying to not win any tricks. If playing with a partner, the partner folds their cards and does not participate in the round. Misère is the [[French language|French]] word meaning "extreme poverty". Misère is worth 250 pts. and is usually placed between 8{{spades}} and 8{{clubs}} in bidding.<ref name = "Pagat"/> It can be bid when auction reaches the level 7.<ref name = "Pagat"/>

''Open Misère'' is the same as misère except the player playing this bid must reveal all of their cards to their opponents after the first trick. Also called ''Lay Down Misère''. It is usually worth 500 and placed between 10{{diamonds}} and 10{{hearts}}.<ref name = "Pagat"/> May be bid at any time even as the first bid.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pagat.com/euchre/500.html#bidding |author = John McLeod|title = Five Hundred|quote= Open Misere is higher than Ten Diamonds but lower than Ten Hearts. You do not have to wait for the bidding to reach any particular level – Open Misere can be bid over any lower bid, or even as the first bid of the auction.}}</ref>

Value and precedence of open misère can vary. It can, for instance, also be worth 330 and placed between 8NT and 9{{spades}}.<ref name = "Pagat"/>
