Card player’s score put out? (5)

I believe the answer is:

pique

This clue is a double definition.

'card player's score' is the first definition.
(score in piquet)

'put out?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for pique that I've seen before include "Irritation, resentment" , "Animosity" , "Nettle" , "Ill-feeling; fabric" , "Petulant anger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
