Teen Patti hands ranking chart: strongest to weakest
In standard Teen Patti, Trail → Pure sequence → Sequence → Colour → Pair → High card. Compare the category first; compare individual card ranks only when both hands share a category. This chart does not apply unchanged to Muflis or joker variations.
| Rank / hand | Example | What makes it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · Trail / trio | A♠ A♥ A♦ | Three cards of one rank. |
| 2 · Pure sequence | 4♥ 5♥ 6♥ | Three consecutive ranks, all one suit. |
| 3 · Sequence / run | 7♠ 8♦ 9♣ | Three consecutive ranks, not all one suit. |
| 4 · Colour / flush | A♣ 9♣ 4♣ | One suit, but not consecutive. |
| 5 · Pair | Q♠ Q♦ 5♥ | Two equal ranks and a side card. |
| 6 · High card | A♣ J♦ 8♠ | None of the five patterns above. |
Does a sequence beat a colour? Yes, in this standard order. For example, 7♠ 8♦ 9♣ beats A♥ J♥ 5♥ even though the colour contains an ace. A pure sequence beats an ordinary sequence, and a trail beats both.
Compare two Teen Patti hands
Choose three cards for each hand. This learning tool compares standard hands, without jokers; it does not predict the next deal.
Rules used: trail > pure sequence > sequence > colour > pair > high card. No suit tie-break, Muflis, wild cards or betting advice. Equal card ranks do not decide how your room awards a tied pot.

1. A: 2♠ 2♥ 2♦ / B: A♠ K♠ Q♠
A-K-Q > A-2-3
Hand A. Trail beats pure sequence, even when the trail is twos.
2. A: 4♠ 5♠ 6♠ / B: J♥ Q♣ K♦
A-K-Q > A-2-3
Hand A. A pure sequence beats a mixed-suit sequence. Category comes before high card.
3. A: 2♠ 3♥ 4♦ / B: A♥ K♥ J♥
A-K-Q > A-2-3
Hand A. Sequence ranks above colour in standard Teen Patti. Do not import five-card poker order.
4. A: K♠ K♥ 4♦ / B: 2♣ 5♣ 9♣
A-K-Q > A-2-3
Hand B. Colour beats pair. The kings do not change the category order.
5. A: 9♠ 9♥ A♦ / B: 10♠ 10♥ 2♣
A-K-Q > A-2-3
Hand B. Compare pair ranks first: tens beat nines. The ace kicker cannot rescue the lower pair.
6. A: J♠ J♥ A♣ / B: J♦ J♣ K♠
A-K-Q > A-2-3
Hand A. Both pairs are jacks. Now compare the third card: ace beats king.
7. A: A♠ 9♥ 4♦ / B: A♥ 9♣ 4♠
A-K-Q > A-2-3
Equal ranks. Both high-card hands read A-9-4. Suits do not break this tie; the room decides how a tied pot is settled.
8. A: A♠ 9♠ 2♠ / B: A♥ K♥ 3♥
A-K-Q > A-2-3
Hand B. Both are colour and both start with ace. Compare the next card: king beats nine.
9. A: A♠ K♥ Q♦ / B: A♥ 2♠ 3♦
A-K-Q > A-2-3
Hand A. This question explicitly uses A-K-Q first. Both hands are mixed-suit sequences, so A wins under that rule.
10. A: A♠ K♥ Q♦ / B: A♥ 2♠ 3♦
A-2-3 > A-K-Q
Hand B. The cards are unchanged, but this question uses A-2-3 first. Under that rule B wins.
How same-category hands are compared
| Category | Common comparison | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Trail | Compare the repeated rank | K-K-K beats 9-9-9 |
| Pure sequence / sequence | Compare the run under the table's sequence rule | Q-K-A versus A-2-3 needs a stated rule |
| Colour / high card | Compare highest, then second, then third | A-9-4 beats A-8-7 |
| Pair | Compare pair rank, then side card | J-J-3 beats 10-10-A |
Suit ranking and pot splitting are house-rule questions. Do not assume spades automatically beat hearts unless the table explicitly says so.
Is QKA a sequence in Teen Patti?
Yes. Q-K-A is a sequence under the usual rules; A-K-Q names the same three ranks in reverse order. Q♠ K♥ A♦ is a sequence. Q♥ K♥ A♥ is a pure sequence because all three cards share a suit. The order in which the cards are dealt does not change the hand.
Is it higher than A-2-3? That depends on the room: published rules differ on which ace sequence comes first. K-A-2 is not a standard sequence because the ranks do not run continuously. Check the mode before comparing the two ace sequences.
See the A23 versus AKQ comparison for both conventions and worked examples.
For every run rather than the full hand hierarchy, use the 12-pattern Teen Patti sequence list.
Three comparisons beginners often mix up
| Hands compared | Winner | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| J♠ J♦ 3♥ vs 10♠ 10♦ A♥ | J-J-3 | The pair rank comes before the side card. |
| Q♠ Q♦ 5♥ vs Q♥ Q♣ 9♠ | Q-Q-9 | Equal pairs: compare the remaining card. |
| A♠ 9♦ 4♣ vs A♥ 8♣ 7♦ | A-9-4 | Equal highest cards: compare the second card next. |
If all relevant ranks tie, use the room’s tie rule; do not invent a suit winner. For more practice, use the hand comparison exercises. For how often each category occurs, see Teen Patti hand probabilities.
A quick way to remember the order
Think in layers: matching all three ranks is strongest; then consecutive cards with a matching suit; then consecutive cards; then matching suit; then matching two ranks; finally nothing matched. This pattern is easier to retain than six isolated names.
