Teen Patti rules: the basic round
Rules differ by table and app. This guide explains a common three-card structure for learning only; no money or stakes are involved here.
Setup and deal
A standard deck is used in many versions. Each participating player receives three face-down cards. A dealer button or other turn marker determines the order. House rules define the exact start, number of players, comparisons and when a round ends, so read the rules shown by the table before joining any game.
This website is not a Teen Patti table. It does not deal cards, accept deposits, create a pot or award anything of monetary value.
Turns and common words
- Blind
- A player acts without looking at their cards in versions that use this rule.
- Seen
- A player has looked at their three cards. The permitted action and stake relationship varies by ruleset.
- Chaal
- A turn action used in some rulesets after a player has seen their cards; table wording and limits differ.
- Pack / fold
- A player leaves the current hand and does not continue in that round.
- Show
- A comparison of hands under the specific table’s rules. A show may be available only in particular turn situations.
- Sideshow
- A comparison request between eligible players in some variants. It may be called by another name or not offered.
How a learning round flows
- Read the table’s variant and hand-ranking rules before the deal.
- Deal three cards face down to each player.
- Take turns choosing only actions the rules permit—such as blind, seen, continue or fold.
- Continue until the table rules trigger a fold outcome or a hand comparison.
- Compare three-card combinations using that variant’s hand order; review the hand-ranking guide.
For a free learning exercise, use verbal examples or points that have no cash value, cannot be bought and cannot be redeemed. Never treat play as a way to earn money.
Rules can vary
Some tables add jokers, change the order, use a low-hand variant such as Muflis, or set different show and sideshow conditions. Ace-low sequence treatment and tie-breaking can also differ. App menus, regional house rules and local legal requirements may not match this general guide. The table’s displayed rules control that table; this page does not certify an app or tell you to wager.
