Teen Patti Sequence Examples

By Teen Patti Guide · Updated 2026-10-09

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.

This guide describes a common version of play. Confirm house rules before starting.
