In Response To: Ten Things I Hate About the BG Experience (Matt Cohn-Geier)

Stick says: People who take advantage of the unfortunate edges that backgammon affords them without feeling guilty.

What? Do you feel guilty when you win?

Stick says: I think you took that wrong, I'm talking about rules such as legal moves.

Even if you outplay your opponent by a mile, you're still what, 60-75%?

You can be higher than this and a lot higher than this for that matter. You can get in with aces in some matches v. 47 off. With poker it's a different feeling when some schmuck makes a bad play, he makes _one_ bad play and depending on the circumstances you having him dominated might not have been a bad play on his part at all. It's quick, it's painless. However with backgammon you sit there for an hour watching this total pidgeon make error after blunder after play that you wouldn't even have considered and voilą! WFP!
