What is a Pure Sequence?
A Pure Sequence contains three consecutive ranks in the same suit. Examples include 5♥-6♥-7♥ and J♣-Q♣-K♣. Because both rank order and suit match, Pure Sequence is the second-highest standard category below Trail.
What is a regular Sequence?
A regular Sequence contains three consecutive ranks that are not all in the same suit. Examples include 4♣-5♥-6♠ and 9♦-10♦-J♣. Sequence ranks below Pure Sequence and above Color.
Pure Sequence vs Sequence vs Color
Pure Sequence requires consecutive ranks and one suit. Sequence requires consecutive ranks but may mix suits. Color requires one suit but the ranks must not form a sequence. This distinction explains why Sequence normally defeats Color.
Highest and lowest sequence examples
A-K-Q is commonly treated as the highest sequence. Many tables also accept A-2-3, but its position can differ. Combinations such as K-A-2 are not normally sequences because the ranks do not form an accepted three-card order.
How equal sequences are compared
When two players hold the same sequence category, the sequence with the higher top card normally wins. If the ranks are identical, the table's tie policy applies because suit does not usually determine the winner in standard Teen Patti.
Check the active rules
Apps and private tables may handle A-2-3, identical hands and Joker variations differently. Review the active table rules before relying on a sequence comparison, especially in formats that introduce wild cards.
Common questions
Is Pure Sequence higher than Sequence?+
Yes. Pure Sequence ranks above a regular Sequence in standard Teen Patti.
Does Sequence beat Color?+
Yes. A regular Sequence normally ranks above a Color.
Is A-2-3 a valid Teen Patti sequence?+
Many tables accept A-2-3, but its position in the order can vary. Check the active rules.
Pure Sequence, Sequence and Color decision table
Valid Teen Patti Pure Sequence examples
- A♠ K♠ Q♠ — consecutive high cards of one suit.
- 9♥ 10♥ J♥ — consecutive ranks of Hearts.
- 4♦ 5♦ 6♦ — consecutive ranks of Diamonds.
A-2-3 may be accepted under the active table's Ace rule; confirm it before comparing sequence order.
Examples that look similar but are not Pure Sequence
How equal sequences are resolved
Compare the sequence order defined by the table. Suits generally do not create an extra rank unless the table explicitly states a suit rule. If two players hold equally ranked sequences and the table does not define a suit or secondary tie-break, follow the displayed tie procedure rather than inventing one.
