Players who are familiar with these combinations are better able to evaluate their position at the table in relation to other players. In Teen Patti Rummy, for instance, a tern patti"trio"—three cards of the same rank—is the strongest hand, whereas a "pair"—two cards of the same rank—is significantly weaker. As the game goes on, players should be mindful of possible combinations that might appear. It is possible to predict what combinations opponents might be holding by keeping track of the cards that have been played.
