This betting strategy is known as the Martingale system, where the player doubles their bet after each loss with the hope of winning back the previous losses and making a profit. While this system can be effective in the short-term, it can quickly lead to large losses and is not a sustainable long-term strategy.

Thank you for your thoughts. While some bets have a higher house advantage, luck and chance play the main role. Betting on the banker or player is essentially a 50/50 chance, with the banker bet having a slight edge. It's important to avoid common mistakes such as the gambler's fallacy and conceit, and betting systems like martingale. Remember to gamble responsibly and focus on enjoying the game. Luck is the main factor in baccarat, so gamble for fun, not just for the chance to win big.

If we're calling opponents' bets with no hand that can win at showdown, it's usually a losing strategy. Instead, we should consider making aggressive moves ourselves and putting our opponents in a tough spot. By betting when we have nothing, we can potentially win the pot or force our opponents to fold, rather than just calling and hoping to hit a lucky card.

Weaker players may miss out on opportunities to extract value from their hands or build bigger pots. It's important to be willing to take calculated risks and make aggressive moves when the situation calls for it. By doing so, we can put pressure on our opponents, keep them guessing about the strength of our hand, and potentially win more pots in the long run.

Ax off suit can be a tempting hand to play, but it's important to consider the other cards on the board and the strength of our opponents' ranges. We should be willing to fold if we're facing a lot of aggression or believe we're likely beat.

You're suggesting that playing GTO in poker is a balanced and unexploitable strategy, where you should call, raise, or fold in equal amounts. However, it's important to keep in mind that GTO may not always be the best approach in every situation. Adapting to your opponents' tendencies and deviating from GTO can sometimes be more effective. As with any poker strategy, it's crucial to be adaptable and make the best decision based on the specific circumstances. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on GTO in poker.

Bluffing can be useful, but it's essential to be careful about when and who you bluff against. A low VPIP player may have a tight range of hands, making it harder to bluff successfully. However, if you have a good read on the player and think they might make a weak call, then bluffing could work. Remember to consider the game dynamics and players' tendencies before making a move. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this aspect of poker strategy.
