My column a few weeks ago about commission-free Baccarat and commission-free Pai Gow Poker prompted a reader to send me an e-mail asking for advice on how to improve his play at Baccarat.  The simple reality is that I could not provide him with any advice.  Baccarat has no strategy.  Sometimes when I say that, it means that there is sort of no strategy.  For example, in Casino War, the only choice the Player can make is whether to go to war when the Player and Dealer card tie.  Mathematically, the Player should always go to war, so in essence there is no strategy.  The Player IS given a choice of what to do, but the choice is always the same, so is there really any strategy?  I'll leave that to the philosophers and people who wonder about trees falling in the forest.
