In baccarat, the draw begins when the banker or the player looks at his cards. The actions depend on the number of points held: Up to 4 points, the ponte must draw another card; at 5 points, the ponte can choose to draw or hold; at 6-7 points, the ponte must say "No sir" or "Pass" to indicate that he does not want to draw another card; and at 8-9 points, no third card is drawn in that round.
