      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I played another baccarat event over the past weekend (<a href="https://www.blackjacktournaments.com/tournaments/oriental-pearl-baccarat-tournament.2592/" class="internalLink">https://www.blackjacktournaments.com/tournaments/oriental-pearl-baccarat-tournament.2592/</a>) and managed my first final table appearance for baccarat! However, I finished 5th out of 9 and the prize pool was top heavy. Still, another good experience.<br />
<br />
In both the preliminary round (3 advance from 9) and the semi final round (1 advances from 8), I found myself in similar situations on the final hand. For both rounds, there were no...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Note: This discussion began as part of the thread about a specific event at the Venetian in Las Vegas.  You can see that thread here:<br />

<br />
A reasonable target goal in that event was to turn a starting bankroll of $50,000 into $450,000 in 10 hands, with a max bet of $50,000 on player or banker....<br />
<br />
Assumption 1: The tie bet is limited to $6250 or less making it not useful...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I made a careless error on the final hand of the preliminary round at <a href="https://www.blackjacktournaments.com/tournaments/mini-baccarat-tournament.2577/" class="internalLink">https://www.blackjacktournaments.com/tournaments/mini-baccarat-tournament.2577/</a> yesterday. I thought I would mention it so that you don&#039;t make the same mistake.<br />
<br />
This was a 2 advance table with a secret bet on the final hand. Limits were 50-2500 for banker/player and 10-500 for tie. A winning tie bet pays 8 to 1. Note that a winning tie bet can do some serious damage here, being worth 4000 for a max bet. Also,...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Being relatively new to baccarat tournaments and never playing the game at all otherwise, I have never bothered to learn the rules used to deal the player and banker hands. After all, we&#039;re merely betting on which hand will win, and/or if there will be a tie and how much to bet in each case. There are no playing decisions to be made.<br />
<br />
This is all perfectly true, as long as the dealer does not make an error. However, the rules for dealing the hands are somewhat more complex than, say,...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[The baccarat tournaments that I have played had much lower max bets on the tie bet than for the player/banker bets.  For example, I think the last event I played was $1000 max on P/B and $100 max on tie.  Is that pretty much always the case in tournaments you have seen, or have you seen more equal limits?]]></content:encoded>
