Teen Patti Side Show Rules
A side show lets two seen players compare cards privately partway through a round. It's one of the more confusing rules for beginners, so here it is step by step.
Published · Teen Patti Gold Game PK
What a Side Show Is
A seen player can ask the seen player who bet just before them to compare cards privately. The weaker hand must fold.
Conditions
- Both players must be seen.
- You normally pay the current seen stake to ask.
- The other player can accept or refuse.
Side Show vs Show
A show happens when only two players are left, and both hands are revealed to settle the pot. A side show happens while more players are still in, and only the two players involved see the cards.
When It's Used
Players often ask for a side show to knock out one opponent without going all the way to a show. Your decisions still depend on hand rankings.
