Ranking of Cards in "Teen Patti"

3 Patti uses a standard 52 card deck, with Aces ranking highest and 2's lowest.
The object of the game is to have the best 3 card hand, and to maximize the pot before the showdown.
Any hand of a higher category beats any hand of a lower category. The categories are ranked as follows:
• Three of a Kind/ Trio – three of the same cards. Three aces are the highest and three twos are the lowest.
• Straight Flush – three consecutive cards of the same suit. The highest of these is A-2-3 followed by A-K-Q, K-Q-J and so on down to 4-3-2, which is the lowest and 2-A-K is not valid.

Best Hands 
Three of a Kind/ Trio:
A♣ A♥ A♦
Straight Flush:
A♦ 2♦ 3♦
Straight:
A♣ 2♠ 3♦
Flush/Color:
A♦ K♦ J♦
Pair:
A♥ A♦ K♦
High Card:
A♥ K♦ J♣
• Straight – three consecutive cards not all in the same suit. A-2-3 is the best straight followed by A-K-Q, K-Q-J and so on down to 4-3-2. 2-A-K is not a valid straight.
• Flush/Color – three cards of the same suit. When comparing two colors, first compare the highest, if these are equal compare the second and if these are equal compare the lowest. The lowest flush is 5-3-2 and the highest is A-K-J.
• Pair – Two cards of the same rank. Between two pairs the one with the higher value is the winner. If the pairs are of equal value then the odd card determines the winner. Therefore the lowest pair is 2-2-3 and the highest is A-A-K.
• High Card – If two players share a common high card, the next highest card is used to determine the winner. The best high card hand would be an AKJ of different suits.

Game Description
3 Patti is played with everyone seated in a circle at a floor rug or at a table. An ante or minimum stake is decided beforehand, and all players involved must "ante" this amount into the pot. The dealer deals until everyone has three cards, and all leave their cards face down until it is their turn to bet. Each player has the option to look at their hand before betting (playing seen) or to leave their cards face down on the table (playing blind).
