Teen Patti is one of India’s most-played card games, with its origin here itself. It is one of the most played card games that you will come across. If you have just started playing Teen Patti and can’t get hold of things, stick to the end of the article to know the desi card game inside out.
How to play Teen Patti?
A player would need a minimum of three and a maximum of six players to play Teen Patti. The game is played using a traditional 52 cards deck. Before starting the game, each player must deposit their share of the boot amount into the pot. The minimum stake amount decided by the players is known as the boot amount.
Once the pot is filled, the cards are dealt facing down. So you don’t know your cards until you flip and look into them. You can play the game either blind or seen. If you play seen, you can flip your cards and see them.
Your main aim should be to win the entire pot by either having the highest hand at the end of the round or not folding your hand.
Teen Patti Sequence
Learning to play Teen Patti is simple and easy. To win a game of Teen Patti, you will need both skills and some luck. But before jumping straight into the game, it is crucial to learn the various sequences of Teen Patti.
- Trio: It is the highest sequence you can make with three cards of similar rank. Three Aces make the highest Trio, and three 2s make the lowest.
- Pure sequence: A pure sequence is also known as straight flush. You need three cards from the same suit making a sequence to have a pure sequence. A, 2, 3 makes the best cards, and 4, 3, 2 makes the most miniature cards.
- Sequence: A straight hand consisting of three successive cards, not necessarily from the same suit, makes a sequence. A, 2, 3 makes the best sequence, and 4, 3, 2 makes the worst sequence.
- Colour:Â It is a colour sequence with three cards from the same suit. In case of a tie, the ranks of the cards will be compared. For example, ace, King, and Jack are the highest while five, three, and two are the lowest.
- Pair: You can make pairs of cards from the same rank. E.g. two Kings from different suits. If there is a tie between the players with a pair, the player with a higher ranking card wins. The highest pair is made using two Aces, and the lowest is two 2s.
- High Card: A hand that doesn’t have three cards from the same suit or in sequence and no two cards with the same value is a High Card. If there are multiple high cards in your hand, then you win. A-K-J of any suits is the best High Cards and 5-3-2 the worst.
Solitaire Online Card Game
To improve your skills quickly, devote a chunk of time every week to improving your Solitaire card game – sufficient time for you to become fully absorbed and try out a few tactics or suggestions that you have read online on advice forums or gaming guides.
The old adage is that ‘practice makes perfect’, and this is certainly the case with Solitaire. Although some people may argue that the game can lack challenge, this is not true if you make the effort to understand the ideal strategies behind the game and start to experience more success. After this, you can challenge other players online, even claiming cash prizes for your efforts.
The former tip is important to bear in mind too, and many beginners will overlook this, instead thinking they have succeeded when they have cleared a pile of hidden cards on the tableau. The reason why it is not wise to entirely clear a pile is that there is a limited number of Kings, and they are the only ones that can be placed in the blank card space on the tableau.
If you have no Kings, you will simply be leaving an empty space on your tableau that is basically useless. Instead, leave the last previously hidden card there to build upon. There are plenty more tips like this available online, and it is well worth doing your research in this area in order to improve your Solitaire card game.
After reading up on strategy and technique, the next thing to do is to practice, and the ideal way to do this is either with a pack of cards on your own, or on a computer that has an undo function of your last move. As you may imagine, the possibility to correct a bad move can be a great learning experience, and will force you to become more analytical about the game.
