## What this site computed, and how

Every figure below was counted here from a standard deck, not quoted from
another source. The working is shown on the page it appears on.

- All 22,100 possible three-card hands from a 52-card deck, grouped by Teen
  Patti hand type: 52 trails, 48 pure sequences, 720 sequences, 1,096 colours,
  3,744 pairs, 16,440 high-card hands.

  Tiger, 204 tied.

- Blackjack frequency from first principles: 128 of 2,652 two-card deals are a
  natural, which is 4.83% or roughly one hand in twenty-one.
- The split-eights case in numbers: hitting 16 busts on 32 of 52 cards; hitting
  an 8 busts on none.
- Eight published Indian Rummy sources counted on whether a wild joker may
  complete a pure sequence: five say no, three allow it in natural position.
- Seven published Teen Patti sources counted on whether A-2-3 or A-K-Q is the
  highest sequence: three for A-2-3 including Pagat, four for A-K-Q.
- Six published Andar Bahar sources counted on which side receives the first
  card: four say black deals to Andar, two reverse it.

rather than a single answer.


## Key facts

- Teen Patti is dealt from a 52-card deck with no jokers; each player receives three cards.
- Teen Patti hand order, strongest to weakest: trail, pure sequence, sequence, colour, pair, high card.
- In Teen Patti the highest run is A-2-3, which outranks A-K-Q. The order runs A-2-3, A-K-Q, K-Q-J and down to 4-3-2.
- 2-A-K is not a valid run in Teen Patti; the ace sits at either end but a run cannot wrap through it.
- There are 22,100 possible Teen Patti hands. Only 52 are trails, about 1 hand in 425.
- A sequence beats a colour in Teen Patti because sequences are rarer: 720 possible sequences against 1,096 possible colours.
- Roughly three Teen Patti hands in four are high card and nothing else: 16,440 of 22,100.
- A seen player in Teen Patti must bet at least twice the stake a blind player pays.
- Chaal means to bet and continue in Teen Patti; pack means to fold.
- A sideshow in Teen Patti can only be requested by a seen player, against the previous seen player.
- Teen Patti variations change either which cards are wild or how hands are compared; the betting structure stays the same.
- Muflis is the Teen Patti variation where the lowest hand wins; AK47 makes every ace, king, four and seven wild.
- A 13-card Indian Rummy declaration requires at least two sequences, at least one of which must be pure.
- A pure sequence in Rummy contains no joker of any kind, printed or wild.
- An invalid Rummy declaration is penalised the full hand value up to 80 points, including cards already in valid groups.
- A Rummy set must use different suits; three nines with two of the same suit is invalid.
- Andar Bahar is called Katti in Karnataka and Mangatha or Ullae Veliyae in parts of Tamil Nadu; the rules are identical.
- Andar Bahar and Ullae Veliyae both translate as inside-outside; Katti means cut.
- In Andar Bahar the colour of the centre card decides which side is dealt to first: black deals first to Andar, red deals first to Bahar.
