2. Understanding the Teen Patti Table
   

   Online, you’ll see a virtual table with player seats, the pot, betting options, and your hand. Get familiar with the layout and controls before playing.

3. Placing the Boot Amount
   

   Before each round starts, all players must make a minimum bet. This is called the ‘Boot Amount’ or ‘Ante’. They put this bet into the central pot. This initial bet sets the minimum stake for the game.

4. Blind Play vs. Seen Play
   

   Once cards are dealt, players have a choice:

   • Blind Play: Bet without looking at your cards. Blind bets are usually half the value of a ‘Seen’ bet. You cannot see your opponents’ cards.

   • Seen Play: Look at your cards before betting. Your bets will be double the current ‘Blind’ bet amount.

5. The ‘Chaal’ (Moving Your Bet)
   

   This is the core betting action. Players take turns clockwise, placing their ‘Chaal’ (bet).

   • Blind Player’s Chaal: Must bet at least the current ‘Boot Amount’.

   • Seen Player’s Chaal: Must bet at least double the current ‘Boot Amount’ (or double the last Blind bet).

   • The amount in the pot increases with each ‘Chaal’.

6. The Side Show Request
   

   A ‘Seen’ player can request a ‘Side Show’ from the player who made the previous bet, provided there are at least three players remaining.

   • The other player can accept or decline.

   • If accepted, both players privately compare their hands. The player with the weaker hand must ‘Pack’ (fold). The game continues with the stronger hand.

   • A ‘Blind’ player cannot request a Side Show.

7. The Showdown
   

   The game culminates in a ‘Showdown’.

   • A ‘Show’ can be called when only two players remain. The last player to bet can initiate a ‘Show’ by paying a ‘Show Fee’ (usually double the current ‘Chaal’ amount).

   • Both hands are revealed, and the player with the higher-ranking hand wins the entire pot.

8. When to ‘Pack’ (Fold)
   At any point during your turn, you can choose to ‘Pack’ or ‘Fold’ your hand. This means you forfeit your current bet and withdraw from the round. It’s a strategic move to cut losses if you have a weak hand or suspect opponents have stronger hands.
