Tactics and Strategy Around the Third Card Decision

[Mike_25]

Should the player opt to hit or stand after seeing the first two cards as a banker in baccarat? While there are no hard and fast rules, I generally advise taking the third card depending on the point value of the first two cards dealt. If the point value is between 6 and 9 inclusively, I most often stand. If it is between 0 and 5, I tend to draw another card to come closer to the value of 9 which as banker I aim for. However, this is just my own preference based on observing how most rounds play out. I would like to hear others' strategies and prudent practices around the third card decision in baccarat.
