How Do Card Rankings Work in Master Teen Patti?

If you are new to Master Teen Patti, understanding card rankings is one of the first things you should learn. The rules are quite simple once you get the hang of them. You get three cards, and the strength of your hand helps decide whether you have a better hand than the other players.

Though the game may look confusing at first, you don't need to be an expert to understand the basics. You just need to know which card combinations are stronger and how to compare them.

So, let's understand it!

What Are Card Rankings in Master Teen Patti?
Card rankings tell you which three-card hand is stronger than another. In standard Teen Patti, there are six main hand types, ranked from strongest to weakest.

Here is the order you should remember:

Trail or Trio - Three cards of the same rank.
Pure Sequence - Three consecutive cards of the same suit.
Sequence - Three consecutive cards that are not all the same suit.
Color - Three cards of the same suit that are not consecutive.
Pair - Two cards of the same rank.
High Card - Three cards that don't make any of the combinations above.
Let's look at each one:

Trail or Trio
A Trail, also called a Trio, is the strongest hand in standard Teen Patti. It means all three cards have the same rank.

Like for example, three Aces make a Trail, as do three Kings or three 7s.

If two players have a Trail, the player with the higher-ranking set of cards wins. For example, three Kings beat three Queens. Three Aces are generally the highest Trail, while three 2s are the lowest.

Pure Sequence
A Pure Sequence is made when all three cards are in consecutive order and belong to the same suit.

For example, a hand with 5, 6, and 7 of hearts is a Pure Sequence because the cards follow one another and share the same suit.

A Pure Sequence ranks below a Trail but above a regular Sequence. Remember that the cards must be consecutive and belong to the same suit for this hand to count as a Pure Sequence.

Sequence
A Sequence is also known as a Run. It contains three cards in consecutive order, but they do not all belong to the same suit.

For example, a hand with a 4, 5, and 6 in different suits makes a Sequence.

The main difference between a Sequence and a Pure Sequence is that a Pure Sequence uses the same suit for all three cards. A regular Sequence can have different suits.

Color
A Color means all three cards belong to the same suit, but their ranks are not consecutive.

For example, three hearts with ranks 2, 7, and King make a Color, as long as they do not form a sequence under the game's rules.

Do not confuse Color with the red or black color of the cards. Hearts and diamonds are red, while clubs and spades are black. For this hand, all three cards must belong to the same suit.

A Color ranks below a Sequence and above a Pair.

Pair
A Pair is formed when two of your three cards have the same rank. The third card can have any different rank.

For example, two Kings and a 5 make a Pair. Two 8s and a Queen also make a Pair.

If two players have Pairs, the higher pair wins. For example, a pair of Aces beats a pair of Kings. If both players have the same pair, the third card is used to compare their hands.

High Card
High Card is the lowest-ranking hand in standard Teen Patti. It means your three cards do not form a Trail, Pure Sequence, Sequence, Color, or Pair.

For example, a hand containing an Ace, 9, and 4 that does not form another combination is a High Card hand.

When two players have High Card hands, their highest cards are compared first. If those cards are equal, the next highest cards are compared, followed by the last card if needed.
