This is the standard order used in almost every casual game and 3 Patti app. Anything higher on the list beats everything below it — memorise these six rows and you will never misread a showdown again.
| Rank | Hand (3 Patti name) | What it is | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trail / Trio / Set | Three cards of the same rank | A-A-A |
| 2 | Pure Sequence (Pakki Run) | Three consecutive cards, same suit | A♠ K♠ Q♠ |
| 3 | Sequence / Run | Three consecutive cards, mixed suits | 9♠ 8♥ 7♦ |
| 4 | Color / Flush | Same suit, not consecutive | A♥ 10♥ 6♥ |
| 5 | Pair (Jodi) | Two cards of the same rank | K-K-5 |
| 6 | High Card | No combination — highest card counts | A-J-8 |
“Three of a kind, then two kinds of run, then suit, then pair, then nothing.” Trail → Pure Sequence → Sequence → Color → Pair → High Card.
The 3 Patti Sequence Chart (in Pictures)
A table is fine, but the order sticks faster when you can see the cards. Here is every 3 Patti hand drawn with real cards, strongest at the top — screenshot this and the whole sequence chart lives on your phone.
Each 3 Patti Hand Explained
Trail (Trio / Set): three cards of the same rank and the strongest hand in 3 Patti. A-A-A is the best Trail, 2-2-2 the weakest. Rare — and almost unbeatable when you hold one.
Pure Sequence: three consecutive cards in the same suit, like 8-9-10 of hearts. The surprise for newcomers is that a pure sequence beats a Color — the run matters more than the suit.
Sequence (Run): three consecutive cards in mixed suits, such as 9♠ 8♥ 7♦. Same shape as a pure sequence, but mixed suits drop it one rank.
Color (Flush): three cards of one suit that are not consecutive. When two players both hold a Color, compare the highest card, then the next, then the third.
Pair (Jodi): two cards of the same rank plus a third “kicker”. Higher pairs win; if pairs tie, the kicker decides.
High Card: no combination at all. The single highest card decides, then the next. Ace-high is the strongest high card.
Plenty of beginners assume a Color beats a Sequence because “all one suit looks strong.” It does not. Pure Sequence > Sequence > Color. Lock that order in before you risk real chips.
What Is a Pure Sequence in 3 Patti?
“Pure sequence in 3 Patti” is one of the most-searched parts of the list, so it is worth nailing down. A pure sequence (some players call it a pakki run) is three consecutive cards all in the same suit — for example 4♠-5♠-6♠ or J♥-Q♥-K♥. It sits at number two on the list, behind only the Trail.
The key thing to remember: a pure sequence outranks both a plain Sequence (consecutive but mixed suits) and a Color (same suit but not consecutive). So if you are holding 6♠-7♠-8♠, you are beating anyone with a flush and anyone with a mixed-suit run — only a Trail can top you. If the word “sequence” sent you here from rummy instead, the idea is similar but the rules differ; our pure sequence in rummy guide covers that side.
Same three numbers, one suit = pure sequence (rank 2). Same three numbers, mixed suits = plain sequence (rank 3). The only difference is the suit, but it is worth a full rank.
A-K-Q vs A-2-3: Which Sequence Is Higher?
This is the single most-asked 3 Patti ranking question. Under the most common house rules:
- A-K-Q is the highest sequence (pure or plain).
- A-2-3 is usually the second highest — it outranks K-Q-J.
- 2-3-4 is the lowest possible sequence.
Notice the Ace works both ends: high in A-K-Q and low in A-2-3. But it cannot “wrap around the corner” — K-A-2 is not a valid sequence. A handful of tables rank A-2-3 as the highest run instead, so settle this in the 30 seconds before the first boot.
Whether A-2-3 outranks K-Q-J, how sideshows work, and any joker variants change from table to table and app to app. A quick agreement before the deal saves arguments later.
How Ties Are Broken in 3 Patti
When two players hold the same type of hand, 3 Patti compares the card values:
- Two Trails: higher rank wins — A-A-A beats K-K-K.
- Two Sequences: compare the top card — A-K-Q beats Q-J-10.
- Two Colors: compare highest card, then second, then third.
- Two Pairs: higher pair wins; if the pairs match, the kicker decides.
- Two High Cards: highest single card wins, then the next, then the third.
3 Patti, Teen Patti, Flash — Same Sequence List
One reason searchers get confused: the same game is spelled and branded a dozen ways. 3 Patti, Teen Patti, Teen Patti / 3 Patti Gold, and the old British name Flash (or Flush) all use the identical sequence list and ranking order above. If an app or a friend uses a different label for a hand, it is almost always just a regional name — here is the quick translation.
| On this list | Also called |
|---|---|
| Trail / Trio | Set, Teen, Three-of-a-kind |
| Pure Sequence | Pakki run, Straight flush, Pure run |
| Sequence | Run, Straight, Normal run |
| Color | Flush, Rang |
| Pair | Jodi, Two-of-a-kind |
