Three facts to remember
3 cards · 52-card standard deck · 6 hand categories. Learn the hierarchy first, then turns and table-specific exceptions.
What is a Teen Patti game?
The name refers to three cards. You may also see 3 Patti, 3patti, Indian poker or “teen patti wala game” in searches. These phrases describe a game family; they do not identify a single Android developer. An app called Teen Patti can therefore have different rules, account systems and payment features from another app with a similar name.
In the traditional game, a dealer gives each player three cards. A hand may end when other players fold, or when the remaining hands are compared under the table’s show rules. For learning, replace all stakes with imaginary counters that have no purchase or redemption value.
Start with the six hand categories
| Order | Hand | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trail / trio | A♠ A♥ A♦ | Three of the same rank. Aces are highest. |
| 2 | Pure sequence | 7♠ 8♠ 9♠ | Three consecutive ranks in one suit. |
| 3 | Sequence / run | 4♠ 5♥ 6♦ | Three consecutive ranks, mixed suits. |
| 4 | Colour / flush | A♥ J♥ 8♥ | One suit without a consecutive run. |
| 5 | Pair | K♠ K♦ 9♥ | Two equal ranks and one kicker. |
| 6 | High card | A♠ J♥ 8♦ | No pair, run or flush; compare ranks. |
Compare the category before individual cards. Three twos beat an ace-high pure sequence under the standard hierarchy. A pair of twos still loses to any qualifying colour. The full ranking guide explains ties and kickers.
A practical learning path
- Read the rules and identify blind, seen, pack and show.
- Study sequence order, especially A-2-3 versus A-K-Q.
- Try the no-money hand trainer before opening an app.
- Use the Android checklist to distinguish app identity from marketing.
Social play and money play are different
A digital table can use virtual chips without offering a cash prize. Other services may attach deposits or monetary rewards to similar-looking tables. Do not infer legal status or cash value from the words “free”, “cash” or “bonus”. Read the exact service terms and the India legal information before using any service. This site offers information and a hand trainer, not accounts, deposits or betting.
