Teen Patti: The Ultimate Guide to Mastering the Game

Step 1: Choose a dealer

We should first decide on a dealer to begin the game. You can accomplish this by mutual consent or inject some fun with cards. The dealer is the player having the highest card count.
The dealer’s work is crucial; they will set the game in action and mix the deck distributing the cards to the players. So gather around and let’s identify our dealer to begin the game.

Step 2: Put in an ante

It’s time to ante up! Every player must lay an ante, a mandatory stake, before any cards are dealt. This guarantees immediately from the start something at stake. The participants collectively set the ante level; thus, everyone contributes and the game starts!

Step 3: Get Your cards

After the ante is in, the dealer deals three cards face down to every player from shuffled deck. Hide your cards from the other players; this is the part of secrecy. It increases the excitement and strategy since you have to act depending on your hand and the behavior of the other players. Hence, rapidly review your cards and begin to make plans.

Step 4: First player

Now the game starts! Starting with the player to the left of the dealer, the movement runs clockwise. Every player can play either “blind” or “seen”. Playing blind means, you wager wild—that is, without looking at your cards! Playing seen causes you to glance at your cards before making decisions. You have three choices once you have decided on your style: call (match the current wager), bet (raise the stakes), or fold (leave this round).

Step 5: Ask for a side-show

You might be sure about your hand as the game grows fierce but not about an opponent’s. Under this situation you could request a side show. To do a head-to– head comparison, you ask the prior player to disclose their cards. Should they embrace the side-show both of you will demonstrate. The lesser hand player has to fold; the stronger hand carries on. Should the side-show be turned down, the game runs as usual. This is a daring action; use it carefully to outsmart your rival.

• The better hands are Trail, Set, Trio. Three identical cards, any color or suit (like A-A-A or 9-9-9 of a spade, diamond, and heart).
• The second-best hand is straight flush or pure sequence. Three consecutive cards of the same suit and color—A-2-3 of hearts, for example, or K-Q-J of clubs.
• Third best hand is run/straight/sequential. Three consecutive cards in different suits—e.g., A-2-3 or K-Q-J to indicate a spade, heart, and diamond.
• Fourth best hand is color/flish. Three similarly fitting and coloured cards, but not in the same sequence—for instance, 9-4-3 of spades or A-K-K of hearts.
• Pair is the fifth best hand. Independent of suit or colour, two cards of the same rank, eg A-A-9 or 5-5-J.
• The worst hand is Low Card. Three nonsequential cards with either the same value or suit—A-9-4 with two diamonds and one spade, for instance.

Step 6: Showdown

One of the remaining two players can request a showdown when the betting gets to a position whereby only two are left. Both players display cards in a confrontation; the one with the better hand takes home the money. Often the game’s climax, this is exciting and full of stress.

Step 7: Alternate confrontation

Should the game last for a protracted period with some players still remaining, an alternative confrontation can take place. In this situation every player might request a confrontation, and all other players have to present their cards. The highest hand player takes home the pot and calls off the game.
