Teen Patti Rules Chart: Hand Rankings Highest to Lowest (With Odds)
Teen Patti rules chart: all 3 Patti hands ranked highest to lowest, the full sequence order, exact probabilities and tie-break rules, with examples.
Knowing the Teen Patti hand rankings is the single most important skill in the game. Every decision — whether to chaal, raise, pack or ask for a show — depends on how strong your three cards are compared with what your opponents might hold. Here is the complete ranking chart, the exact odds of each hand, and the tie-break rules that settle close contests.
Teen Patti rules chart (highest to lowest)
| Rank | Hand | Example | Combinations | Probability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trail / Set | 7♠ 7♥ 7♣ | 52 | 0.24% |
| 2 | Pure Sequence | J♦ Q♦ K♦ | 48 | 0.22% |
| 3 | Sequence | 3♣ 4♥ 5♠ | 720 | 3.26% |
| 4 | Color | 2♠ 9♠ K♠ | 1,096 | 4.96% |
| 5 | Pair | 10♥ 10♣ 4♦ | 3,744 | 16.94% |
| 6 | High Card | A♣ 8♦ 3♠ | 16,440 | 74.39% |
There are C(52,3) = 22,100 possible three-card hands. The numbers above add up to exactly that total.
Why is a Trail ranked above a Pure Sequence?
You might notice that a Pure Sequence (48 combinations) is actually slightly rarer than a Trail (52 combinations). Traditional Teen Patti rules still rank the Trail higher, and every major app, including Teen Patti Pro, follows that tradition. Just remember: Trail beats Pure Sequence.
Each hand explained
1. Trail (Set or Trio)
Three cards of the same rank. Between two Trails, the higher rank wins: A-A-A is the best possible hand and 2-2-2 the lowest Trail.
2. Pure Sequence (Straight Flush)
Three consecutive cards of the same suit. The order from highest is A-K-Q, then A-2-3, then K-Q-J, Q-J-10 … down to 4-3-2. K-A-2 is not a valid sequence.
3. Sequence (Run or Straight)
Three consecutive cards that are not all the same suit. They follow the same order as Pure Sequences.
4. Color (Flush)
Three cards of the same suit that are not consecutive. Compare the highest card first, then the second, then the third.
5. Pair (Double)
Two cards of the same rank plus one other card. Compare the pair first; if both pairs are equal, the higher third card (the kicker) wins.
6. High Card
Any hand that doesn’t fit the categories above. Compare highest cards, then second highest, then lowest. The best High Card hand is A-K-J of mixed suits.
3 Patti sequence order
Sequences (and Pure Sequences) rank in this order, from highest to lowest:
A-K-Q > A-2-3 > K-Q-J > Q-J-10 > J-10-9 > 10-9-8 > 9-8-7 > 8-7-6 > 7-6-5 > 6-5-4 > 5-4-3 > 4-3-2

Tie-break rules
- Within the same category, compare card by card from highest to lowest.
- Suits have no ranking in standard Teen Patti — A♠ and A♥ are equal.
- If two hands are completely identical in rank, the player who asked for the show (or side show) loses. Some private tables split the pot instead.
How strong is your hand? A quick guide
- Pair or better beats about 74% of all possible hands — a solid holding at most tables.
- Color or better appears in under 9% of hands, so it is a strong hand against one or two opponents.
- High Card with an Ace is weak against several opponents but can win heads-up.

Hand rankings FAQ
What is the highest hand in Teen Patti?
Three Aces (A-A-A), a Trail, is the highest possible hand in standard Teen Patti.
What is the second-highest sequence in Teen Patti?
A-2-3 is the second-highest sequence, ranked just below A-K-Q and above K-Q-J.
Does suit matter in Teen Patti?
No. In standard rules suits are only used to identify a Color or Pure Sequence; one suit never beats another.
