• A show cannot occur until all but two players have dropped out.
• If you are a blind player, the cost of a show is the current stake, paid into the pot, irrespective of whether the other player is blind or seen. You do not look at your own cards until after you have paid for the show.
• If you are a seen player and the other player is blind, you are not allowed to demand a show. The seen player can only continue betting or drop out.
• If both players are seen, either player in turn may pay twice the current stake for a show.
• In a show, both players' cards are exposed, and the player whose hand is higher ranking wins the pot. If the hands are equal, the player who did not pay for the show wins the pot.

Teen Patti Ranking High To Low

 Trio - three cards of the same rank. Three aces are the best trio and three twos are the lowest.

 Straight run - three consecutive cards of the same suit.

 Normal run - three consecutive cards of any suit.

 Colour - any three cards of the same suit which are not in sequence.

When comparing two colors, compare the highest card; if these are equal compare the second; if these are equal too, compare the lowest. Thus the highest color is A-K-J and the lowest is 5-3-2.

 Pair - two cards of the same rank.

Between two such hands, compare the pair first, then the odd card if these are equal. The highest pair hand is therefore A-A-K and the lowest is 2-2-3.

 High Card - three cards that do not belong to any of the above types.

Compare the highest card first, then the second highest, then the lowest. The best hand of this type is A-K-J of mixed suits, and the worst is 5-3-2.

Any hand of a higher type beats any hand of a lower type - for example the lowest run 4-3-2 beats the best color A-K-J.
