Three cards. One pot. Pure bluffing energy. Teen Patti has taken Southeast Asia by storm, and at 701 pub it's never been more accessible — with live dealers, real-time action, and instant GCash payouts right from your phone in Manila, Cebu, or anywhere in the Philippines.
Teen Patti — which literally means "three cards" in Hindi — is one of the most beloved card games across South and Southeast Asia. Think of it as a stripped-down cousin of poker, played with three cards instead of five, where psychological pressure and bold betting often matter as much as the hand you're holding. If you've ever played pusoy dos or enjoyed the bluffing dynamics of a late-night tongits session with friends in Quezon City, Teen Patti will feel instantly familiar — just faster and with a global player base behind it.
At 701 pub, Teen Patti is available both as a live dealer game — streamed in real time with professional hosts — and in a standard digital format for players who prefer a quicker solo pace. The live version is where most 701 pub regulars spend their time: there's something about watching cards dealt by a real person, with real-time chat from other players, that no RNG version can quite replicate.
The game uses a standard 52-card deck (no jokers). Each player at the table places an initial bet into the pot — called the boot — before any cards are dealt. Three cards are then dealt to each player face down. From that point, the game becomes a contest of nerve: you can play "blind" (without looking at your cards) for a psychological edge, or play "seen" with full knowledge of your hand. Players bet in rounds, raise stakes, or fold, until a showdown determines who takes the pot.
The beauty of Teen Patti at 701 pub is its speed. A full round at a live table takes roughly 2–3 minutes, making it ideal for players who want quick decisions and rapid results rather than the slow-burn tension of multi-stage poker hands. You can play ten rounds during your lunch break in Makati and still feel like you've had a full gaming session.

Understanding hand strength is the foundation of Teen Patti strategy. Here are all six hand types, ranked from strongest to weakest, as played on 701 pub's live tables.
Three cards of the same rank. Three aces is the highest possible trail; three twos is the lowest. Extremely rare and almost always wins the pot outright.
Three consecutive cards of the same suit. The highest pure sequence is A-K-Q of the same suit; the lowest is A-2-3. Suit must be consistent throughout.
Three consecutive cards of mixed suits. A-K-Q is the highest; A-2-3 is the lowest. A wrap-around (K-A-2) does not count as a valid sequence.
Three cards of the same suit, not in sequence. When two players both have a flush, the highest card determines the winner. A-K-J beats A-K-9 of the same suit.
Two cards of the same rank. A-A-K beats K-K-A. If both pairs match, the third card (the kicker) decides. Pairs are the most common winning hand in Teen Patti.
No matching rank, no sequence, no flush. The hand is judged by its highest card, then second, then third. A-K-J is the best high-card hand; 5-3-2 the worst.
701 pub doesn't limit you to a single version of Teen Patti. The platform hosts multiple variants across its live tables and digital game lobby, each with a distinct twist that keeps the game fresh.
The standard version that follows traditional rules. Perfect for players learning the game or those who prefer straightforward, no-frills card action with a live dealer at 701 pub.
One or two joker cards are added to the deck, acting as wild cards. Jokers can substitute for any card, dramatically increasing the odds of high-ranking hands and pot sizes.
Hand rankings are completely reversed — the lowest hand wins. Three twos becomes the best possible hand. Muflis completely reframes your strategy and is a fan favorite on 701 pub's tables.
All Aces, Kings, Fours, and Sevens are wild cards. Four wild card ranks in play means big hands appear frequently, leading to large pots and exciting showdowns on every round.
Each player receives four cards and must select the best three to form their hand. The extra card adds a strategic layer — you'll often see stronger hands and more aggressive betting.
The hand closest to a total value of 999 (or 9) wins. Face cards count as zero; number cards count at face value. A completely different objective that reshuffles the strategy entirely.

Teen Patti is part card game, part psychological duel. These tips won't guarantee wins — no strategy can in a game of chance — but they'll help you make smarter decisions at the table.
Playing blind (without looking at your cards) doubles the pressure on seen players — they have to match or raise your bets at twice the amount. Use this selectively in the early rounds to thin the field and build a psychological edge before you look at your hand.
Decide your maximum spend — say ₱500 or ₱1,000 — before opening any Teen Patti table at 701 pub. The pace of the game can make it easy to lose track of how many rounds you've played. A pre-set limit keeps things in control and the experience enjoyable.
Folding a weak hand early (high card, low pair) is nearly always the right call at higher-stakes tables. The money you save by folding five mediocre hands is money you can deploy on a genuinely strong hand when it arrives. Tight is right when you're starting out.
In Teen Patti's live dealer format on 701 pub, you can observe how other players bet — aggressive raising from a player who started blind often signals confidence. Watch for bet size patterns. Over multiple rounds, tendencies become readable even through a screen.
701 pub's Teen Patti tables offer side bets like Pair Plus. While these can deliver exciting individual payouts, their house edge is typically higher than the main game. Treat side bets as occasional extras, not a core part of your betting strategy.
Even the best Teen Patti players at 701 pub lose sessions. Three-card games have high inherent variance — a single trail dealt to an opponent ends your best hand instantly. Approach each session expecting swings and you'll enjoy the experience far more than if you expect consistent results.
Open 701 pub Login and sign in. New players register in under 2 minutes. Minimum age is 21 — this is strictly enforced during KYC verification.
Deposit via GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, or Metrobank. Funds appear in your 701 pub wallet almost instantly. Minimum top-up is ₱100.
Navigate to 701 pub Casino, select the Live Dealer section, and choose your preferred Teen Patti variant. Stakes are clearly displayed on each table.
Place your initial boot bet, receive your three cards, decide whether to play blind or seen, and compete to hold the best hand — or bluff convincingly enough to win the pot.
