My name isn't icka, but everyone calls me that, long story. Been playing cards my whole life, (32 years), but evolved from grandma's pinochle table to baccarat in high school. Only thing I can tell you I've learned is that a bad card player, no matter what the game, is a bad card player.

I play primarily at Casino Classic because of the variety of games available. Found out about this site by sitting next to a player with the forums logo in a 2 table baccarat tournament today. Came here right after the baccarat tourney because I played a hand against a predictable player just the way I wanted and got taken for all my chips and didn't feel like getting back in right away.

I know I'll be asked so I'll tell. Down to 6, I'm in 5th (surviving with 1000) with another guy just ahead of me in 4th. I'm under the gun and pull up great. Table was tight as 3 big stacks waiting to be in the money. Slow play is screaming at me. I call $100. 1 caller, gets to it and I knew it was coming, he had raised bets all game. He goes for it over the top, $800. I put it all in, then in, and being committed and about 300 left, guy is in and flips over it. Needless to say I'm on floppy jacks, him on it, and I'm reading posts here. Looks pretty good, so I'll stick around awhile.
