Card mangling and destroying in baccarat. Why?
Can anybody here explain why players squeeze, mangle, fold and destroy the dealt cards in baccarat? From the psychological perspective, are there any reasons for doing so?
I witness it in the casinos but can't think of a good explanation of why they do it other than it is a "cultural" thing. From my perspective of a poker player who never wastes time squeezing the my hole cards, playing baccarat in this fashion seems nothing but irrational.
