Mastering the Art of Playing Teen Patti

Here are the basic rules for playing Teen Patti:

1. Number of Players

- Usually, Teen Patti can be played by 3 - 6 players.

2. Card Deck

- A standard 52 - card deck is used. In some cases, a joker may be added.

3. Dealing

- The dealer distributes three cards face - down to each player.

4. Hand Rankings (from highest to lowest)

Trail or Three of a Kind: Three cards of the same rank (e.g., three kings).

Pure Sequence: Three consecutive cards of the same suit (e.g., 7 - 8 - 9 of hearts).

Sequence: Three consecutive cards of different suits (e.g., 5 of spades, 6 of diamonds, 7 of clubs).

Color or Flush: Three cards of the same suit (not in sequence).

Pair: Two cards of the same rank and one different card.

High Card: If no one has any of the above hands, the player with the highest - ranked card wins.

5. Betting Rounds

- There are typically multiple betting rounds.

- Players can bet, raise (increase the previous bet), call (match the previous bet), or fold (quit the round and forfeit their cards).

6. Showdown

- If more than one player remains in the game after the betting rounds, they show their cards, and the player with the highest - ranking hand wins the pot (the total amount of money or chips bet in the round).

It should be noted that in many regions, Teen Patti is often played for small stakes in a social and recreational context. However, in some areas, gambling with significant amounts of money through Teen Patti is illegal.

Another Variant of Teen Patti (as described later in the text, which seems to be a different version)

Teen Patti can also be played in a different way. In this version, it is a card game played with two decks of cards. The objective of this version of the game is to win all the cards in the deck.

The game is played with four players, each of whom receives two cards face down. The dealer then deals three cards face up on the table, and the remaining two cards are placed face down as the stock.

The player who has the highest value card in their hand can either bet or fold. If they bet, they must match the amount of the bet made by another player. If they fold, they lose their bet and any other bets made by other players.

The next player in turn can either bet or fold, depending on their hand. This continues until all players have folded or made a bet.

The winner of this version of Teen Patti is the player who has the highest value card in their hand after all the bets have been made.
