Top 6 finishers in the Ruby Tournament will receive complimentary entry into the $1 Million Royal Tournament in November 2014.Now, I dunno if MDB or NOR will work in a Tournament structure, but surely we can sponsor some BTC members to try to winthe Daily $30,000 & $50,000 Prizepools. Plus, on the Baccarat Crawls you can become "Gracie" members to get Daily Free entries.Now, i'm more familiar w/ the strategy for winning rebuy Poker Tournaments, I'm thinking we should have an Edge in Baccarat Tourneys.Didn't 2 members of BTC win in a Forum Tourney Showdown awhile back?Whatcha think?Pedro Quote

Anyone have some ideas on tournament style play? Quote Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Figure out a way to win at baccarat that fits your lifestyle, you don't have to eat fish anymore!
Users ECD Posted August 27, 2014 Users Report Posted August 27, 2014 I'm scheduled to be in Vegas from the 26th to the 29th of September anyway, so I'll have to give this a shot. Anyone have some ideas on tournament style play?Haven't played a tournament, but have watched a few. I don't think the way we play will do well -- its not so much about number of winning bets, as it is about how much you bet compared to others and your choice (P,B and tie) compared to others. Very different strategy. Good luck Mike! Quote
