Teen Patti - The Indian Poker

Teen Patti is the card game which recently has became very popular in India. you can download it free from 9game!

The Indian version of Poker called "Teen Patti" (Three Cards) is played with a standard 52-card deck, with an Ace being the highest-ranking card, followed by a King, Queen, Jack, 10......2. The Spades(s) ranks higher than hearts(h) followed by clubs(c), with the diamond(d) being the lowest. That is Ace of spades is the highest card and 2 of diamonds is the worst card that one can have.

This is, in principle, played with 3 cards but can also be played with many variations involving 1 to 6 cards. One can also use more than one pack of cards when playing with variations.

To begin, the game requires a minimum of 4 people. The dealer distributes 3 cards each and the players then bet based upon the cards they have received. All the players have the option to look at their hand before betting (playing Seen) or to leave their cards face down on the table (playing blind) or to pack (fold). Everyone place their stakes in the centre of the table before the betting commences and one has to bet the minimum amount that is equal to the stake amount.

The Higher to Lower ranking of cards is as follows:

1. Trio - Three cards of the same rank (or number). Three A's are the best and three 2's are the lowest in a Trio.
2. Pure Sequence - Three consecutive cards of the same suit. A-K-Q is the highest followed by A-2-3 with 4-3-2 being the lowest. Again the suit plays quite a role here. The A-K-Q of spades is ranked higher than A-K-Q of hearts, followed by A-K-Q of clubs, followed by A-K-Q of diamonds. In other words in pure sequence A-K-Q of spades ranks the highest with 4-3-2 of diamonds being the lowest.
3. Sequence - Three consecutive cards, not all of the same suit. A-K-Q is the best, then A-2-3, K-Q-J and so on till 4-3-2. If two people have the same cards then the highest card's suit is taken into consideration to decide the winner.
4. Colour - Any three cards of the same suit. If there is tie then the player with the highest card is the winner. K-5-6 of any suit is higher than J-3-2 of any suit. However if two people have J-5-6 then the suit decides the winner. Eg: J-5-6 of hearts will beat J-5-6 of clubs.
5. Double - Two cards of the same number or rank. K-K-9 is higher than Q-Q-A. If two players have the same pair the highest third card decides the winner, that is K-K-9 will beat K-K-8. If two people have the same cards, that is K-K-9 then the player having the K of spades is the winner.
6. Highest - Three cards that do not belong to any of the above types. The best hand of this type is A-K-J of mixed suits, and the worst is 5-3-2.

In the nut shell As-Ah-Ac is the highest and 5c-3d-2d is the lowest.
