How to play teen patti game
Teen patti uses three-card hands and simple decisions. This guide explains the core flow for a live table.
Core steps
Deal and ante
Every player posts an ante, and three cards are dealt to each of them.
Choose blind or seen
A blind player has not looked at their cards. A seen player has, and pays more per bet for that information.
Bet, show, or fold
Bet to stay in the round, show to compare your hand against another player, or fold and drop out.
Hand rankings
From strongest to weakest: trail (three of a kind), pure sequence (three in a row in one suit), sequence (three in a row, mixed suits), color (three of one suit, not in a row), pair (two of a rank plus a kicker), and high card (no combination).
Some tables add a joker or vary the stake rules. Check the table rules before you join.
Online play tips
Start with practice
Practice tables cost nothing. Use them to learn the timing and the betting flow before you play for money.
Know the table limit and the payout
Check the entry limits and the payout table before you join, and set a deposit limit you are comfortable with.
Keep decisions clear
Do not rush a decision just because the timer is running. The blind or seen choice changes the odds, so it is worth a moment.
Blind vs seen
A blind player pays less per bet but has no information. A seen player pays more but knows their own hand. Pick based on the table you are at and what you are comfortable with.
Responsible play
Set a deposit limit and a session timer before you start, take regular breaks, and stop when you reach your limit. If it stops being fun, step away.
