Master TeenPatti · The three-card game
Each player receives three cards. A hand ends when everyone else packs or an eligible show settles the remaining hands. Learn the six ranks first, then the order of play.
Classic three-card rules. Check the selected table for variants and ties.

Choose the stronger hand, then see which single detail decides it. Six worked comparisons; no account, chips or timer.
Classic categories, no jokers. These exercises avoid A–2–3 ordering because tables differ. Equal ranks are reported as equal; pot settlement is not simulated.
Comparison 1 / 6
Hand A
Hand B
A wins. 4–5–6 is a sequence; A–J–8 of hearts is a colour. Compare the category before the highest card. The ace does not move a colour above a sequence.
Change one card. Change only 5♥ to 9♥: A becomes 9–6–4 high card, so B’s colour wins.
Comparison 2 / 6
Hand A
Hand B
B wins. Three twos make a trail. A–K–Q of spades is a pure sequence. Any trail ranks above any pure sequence, even when its individual cards are lower.
Change one card. Change only 2♥ to 3♥: B becomes a pair of twos, so A’s pure sequence wins.
Comparison 3 / 6
Hand A
Hand B
A wins. Both hands have a pair of eights, so compare the spare card: king beats queen. The suit of the pair is not the deciding detail.
Change one card. Change only K♣ to J♣: the pairs still match, but B’s queen now beats A’s jack.
Comparison 4 / 6
Hand A
Hand B
B wins. Both hands are colours. Ace matches ace and jack matches jack; the third comparison is nine against seven. Nine decides it.
Change one card. Change only 7♠ to 10♠: A’s ace and jack still match B’s, but ten now beats nine.
Comparison 5 / 6
Hand A
Hand B
A wins. These are high-card hands. The aces match, then ten beats nine. Adding all three card values would answer the wrong question; the third card is not reached here.
Change one card. Change only 10♥ to 7♥: B now wins on the second card, nine against seven.
Comparison 6 / 6
Hand A
Hand B
The hand ranks tie: K–J–8 against K–J–8, both mixed suits. This exercise gives suits no extra rank. Settling a tied show or sideshow is a separate table rule; equal hand rank does not automatically mean splitting a pot.
Change one card. Change only 8♦ to 9♦: B wins on the third card. The king and jack still match.
Examples prepared for Master TeenPatti. Category order checked against Octro’s classic rules; tie comparisons follow Pagat.
After learning the rankings, use offline card practice to test the rule. The hand-frequency table explains rarity; the Rummy comparison explains why familiar combinations have different jobs in another game. For equal-looking hands, compare the ranks in the tie-breaker worksheet.
Use three separate questions: what cards do I hold, have I looked at them, and what action is available? A hand category, a player status and a table action describe different things.
For example, 7♣ 8♦ 9♠ is a mixed-suit sequence. Looking at those cards makes the player seen; it does not change the sequence. A Show button, if available, concerns a comparison under the table rules—not the name of the hand.
Learn these distinctions in order: sequence versus colour, blind versus seen, then show versus sideshow. The examples explain general rules, not verified controls in the linked APK.

The standard six-hand order is a starting point. Confirm the table’s rules for aces and ties.
Muflis commonly reverses the hand order. Read the exact ranking instead of assuming classic rules apply.
Wild cards change how a hand is formed. Check which cards count as jokers and how they are assigned.
This name commonly refers to aces, kings, fours and sevens acting as wild cards. Availability in the APK is not confirmed.
Boot, chaal, pot limits, timers and show conditions belong to the selected table. This guide does not promise any particular app variant.
Check the boot amount, permitted raise, pot limit and turn timer before joining. The starting boot does not tell you the maximum a hand can cost. Specific limits, private tables and practice modes have not been verified for the linked APK.
Compare the ranks within the category. For two pair-category hands, compare the paired rank first, then the spare card if the pairs match. For two colours or high-card hands, compare the highest card, then the next if needed. Exact ties and ace-containing runs follow the agreed table rule.
Trail—three cards of one rank—is the highest category. Three aces are the highest trail in the standard high-hand order.
Yes, in standard rankings. A mixed-suit sequence beats a same-suit colour even when the colour has higher individual cards.
No single ordering applies to every table. Check the ace rule for the selected mode before comparing these runs; published rule sets differ.
Under the common procedure, if every other player packs, the last active player takes the pot. This is different from winning a show by comparing hands.
Compare Q♣ Q♦ 3♥ with J♠ J♥ A♦. Both are pairs; the queens win before the spare ace matters. Now compare Q♣ Q♦ 3♥ with Q♠ Q♥ 8♦: the pairs match, so the spare eight wins.
Compare A♣ J♣ 8♣ with A♦ J♦ 5♦. Both are colours; the ace and jack match, so the third card decides. Suit names alone do not settle the result.
Practise without money: identify the category, compare ranks within it, then check for a tie. A comparison win may not end the round: see show versus sideshow.
Rule references: Octro: Learn Teen Patti · Pagat: Teen Patti. These describe published rule sets; the selected table determines variants and ties.
Compare 4♥ 5♣ 6♦ with A♠ J♠ 8♠. First name the categories. The first hand is a sequence; the second is a colour. Under classic rankings the sequence is higher, even though the colour contains an ace.
Now compare 9♣ 9♦ 4♥ with 9♥ 9♠ K♣. Both are a pair of nines, so compare the remaining card: king beats four. This is a tie-break within a category, not a new hand category.
