Teen Patti Sequence Examples
Recognize valid runs, distinguish pure and mixed sequences, and check the ace convention before comparing hands.
Sort before checking
A sequence is about ranks, not the order in which cards arrived. If you receive 10♦ 8♣ 9♥, sort the ranks as 8, 9, 10. They form a consecutive run. Having mixed suits makes it an ordinary sequence rather than a pure sequence.
Three useful exercises
6♣ 7♣ 8♣: all ranks are consecutive and all suits match. This is a pure sequence.
6♣ 7♦ 8♣: the same consecutive ranks with mixed suits. This is a sequence.
6♣ 8♣ 9♣: the suits match, but the ranks are not consecutive. This is a colour, not a pure sequence.
Ace needs an explicit rule
A-K-Q and A-2-3 are commonly recognized runs, but their relative position differs between rule sets. This website does not assume one universal winner between them. Write the chosen convention on your rules sheet. K-A-2 is not a normal run under the basic rules described here.
Do not compare only the top card
A hand containing an ace is not automatically a sequence. A♦ 9♥ 5♣ has separated ranks and mixed suits, so classify it as a high-card hand. Likewise, a pure sequence belongs to a higher category than an ordinary mixed-suit sequence.
Practice question
Compare 5♥ 6♥ 7♥ with 9♦ 10♣ J♥. The first hand is a pure sequence, the second an ordinary sequence. Category decides this comparison before you look at the higher individual ranks in the second hand.
