Learning teen patti rules is essential to get good at this card game. The aim is to make the strongest three-card hand. You get three cards and try to beat others with hands like Trail or Pure Sequence

The basic rules of Teen Patti (also known as 3 Patti) are as follows:

1. Number of Players and Deck

• Teen Patti is played with 3 to 6 players.

• It uses a standard 52-card deck without jokers.

2. Dealing Cards

• The dealer shuffles the deck and deals three cards face down to each player, starting from the player to their left and moving clockwise.

• Cards remain face down until players choose to see them.

3. Ante and Pot

• Before the cards are dealt, each player contributes a minimum stake called the “boot” or ante to form the initial pot.

• The pot grows as players place bets during the game.

4. Objective

• The goal is to have the best three-card hand at the end or to be the last player remaining after others fold.

5. Hand Rankings (from highest to lowest)

• Trail or Set (Three of a kind): Three cards of the same rank, e.g., three Aces (highest) to three 2s (lowest).

• Pure Sequence (Straight Flush): Three consecutive cards of the same suit, e.g., A-K-Q or A-2-3.

• Sequence (Straight): Three consecutive cards not all in the same suit.

• Color (Flush): Three cards of the same suit, but not in sequence.

• Pair: Two cards of the same rank.

• High Card: If no other hand is formed, the highest card wins.

6. Playing Blind or Seen

• Players can play blind (without looking at their cards) or seen (after looking at their cards).

• Blind players bet half the amount of seen players.

• Seen players must bet at least twice the blind player’s bet.

7. Betting Rounds

• Betting proceeds clockwise starting from the player to the dealer’s left.

• Players can choose to bet (called “chaal”), raise, or fold (pack).

• A player folds by leaving the round and forfeiting their stake.

• Betting continues until only one player remains or players decide to show their cards.

8. Sideshow (Compromise)

• A player can request a sideshow to compare cards privately with the previous bettor.

• The other player can accept or deny.

• If accepted, the player with the weaker hand must fold.

• Blind players cannot request a sideshow.

9. Winning the Game

• The winner is the player with the highest-ranking hand who remains after all others fold or after a showdown.

• If all players fold except one, the last player wins the pot without showing cards.

• In a showdown, players reveal their cards, and the best hand wins.

10. Additional Notes

• The game involves both luck and skill, including betting strategy and bluffing.

• Variations of Teen Patti exist, but these are the core rules.
