Teen Patti Master Hand Rankings Explained with Examples

Every decision in Teen Patti depends on knowing how strong your three cards are. This guide covers each hand from strongest to weakest.

1. Trail

Three cards of the same rank, such as 7-7-7. Between two Trails, the higher rank wins, so A-A-A beats K-K-K.

2. Pure Sequence

Three consecutive cards of the same suit. A-K-Q of one suit is the best, followed by A-2-3 of one suit.

3. Sequence

Three consecutive cards in any suits. The ordering is the same as for a Pure Sequence.

4. Color

Three cards of the same suit that are not consecutive. Compare the highest card, then the second, then the third.

5. Pair

Two cards of one rank. A higher pair wins; if both pairs match, the odd card decides.

6. High Card

No combination at all. Compare the highest card first and continue down if needed.

Quick tip

Keep the order Trail → Pure Sequence → Sequence → Color → Pair → High Card in mind. Notice that a Sequence beats a Color in Teen Patti, which is the opposite of poker.
