Steps And Betting Process In Teen Patti 

The process of Teen Patti betting starts with the players sitting to the left of the dealer. The players continue to take turns in clockwise order around the betting table, for as many rounds as are needed. It all depends on the players to either play by putting an additional amount of bet in the pot or pay no amount and pack. Packing means now the player won’t be able to play any further and he will lose the money already placed in the pot.
The amount of money a player can place as a bet depends whether he is playing as a ‘blind’ player or a ‘seen’ player. Seen players need to bet twice the amount than the blind players to stay in the game. At the beginning of the game, the current stake is one unit, which means it is the amount each player put in the pot called an ante.
A blind player means he has not looked at his cards.  So the blind player needs to put at least the current stake and not exceed twice the current stake. So, the amount a blind player puts in is the current stake for the next player. A seen player has seen his cards. He must bet two times the current stake and not exceed four times the current stake. And for the next player, the current state becomes the half of the amount the seen player has bet.

 A blind player can turn into a seen player if he sees the cards on his turn for betting. After that, the betting continues until –

 All the players except one player have folded. In this case, the player who remains until the last of the game becomes the winner, irrespective of the cards held.
All players except two players have packed and one of these players pays for the show on his turn. In this scenario, cards of both the players are revealed and compared.

• The game starts with dealing with the cards. After the cards are dealt with, the next step by the player is to make a call or a raise. The player will continue to bet with the same betting amount if he/she makes a call. But if a player makes a raise this means he raises the betting amount then before.
• If no player is making a raise then each player needs to bet an equal amount. Also, those playing as “seen players” need to bet twice the amount of blind players to remain in the game. Players also have a right to pack if they don’t want to play anymore and they will lose the money in the pot.
• The betting comes on hold if any of the players bet for a show. Then all the players reveal their cards and the player ranking the highest wins all money in the pot.
• The player can also request for a sideshow or compromise with the player who bet before him/her. It depends on the player to accept or reject the sideshow request of the player. If both the players agree, they see each other’s cards and the player has a better hand and continues to play.

Tips to play Teen Patti as a Beginner 

• Observe. Yes, you heard it right. The first and foremost thing to follow in any betting game is to observe the opponent. A good player keeps his eyes and ears open to smell even the slightest move of the opponent and his pattern of playing. Likewise, don’t give even the slightest chance to understand your next move.

• Even if you have good cards in your kitty, don’t instantly post a big bet. Wait for the right moment. If you bet right from the initial stage, it will lead the other players with the weak card to fold immediately, and you might lose out on a good pot amount.

• Sound confident while agreeing upon the stakes you want to play with. Always begin from low-value bets and increase the value gradually when you’re confident enough to have good cards.

• A little bluffing in the game does not harm. By bluff, we don’t mean cheating but bluffing with weak cards. Do not ever give an indication of your weak cards to the opponent. It’s a pro tip to confuse the opponents until an extent that they pack/fold.

• The most unique feature of Teen Patti is it helps decide the players whether their hand is worth continuing the game or not by using the sideshow option. If the player is not sure about the cards he can ask for the sideshow option from the preceding player and the player having a better hand of the both, continues playing.

• If you are in doubt about the bets just pack! Teen Patti card game deals with picking the right moments to bet. If you’re not patient enough to wait for the right time, be ready to lose some mon
