Duck lol monopoly sux very_happy

Gus Hanson, Abe Mosserri both gammon players on the FT at the WPT final table.

Backgammon is a game of drama and thrill, just as much as poker. These games have many similar characteristics, so it is no wonder that many of the greatest poker players in the world are great backgammon players as well.

Jump on board, you might find u like it very_happy

INFACT IM SO INTO GAMMON I WILL SAY

Crystallized and Fluid Intelligence:


Crystallized Intelligence is the ability to make the right decision according to similar situations that you've seen many times in the past, while making the right decision.


Fluid Intelligence:
Is the ability to make the right decision by thinking it through at the table. Originally (by Cattell), these definitions relate to poker, but we can relate them to backgammon as well. If you try to interpret these terms, you will find out that while playing poker, there are 2 types of intelligence needed in order to play the game. Fluid Intelligence is more common to peak around the age 40; therefore, if your age is over 40, you can use your Crystallized Intelligence. How can you use it? You need to be very familiar with the basic rules of the game and achieve a lot of practice. This way you will be able to recognize a great number of situations and make the right decisions.

Just like in poker, the more you play backgammon, the more you will improve and enrich your tactics and strategies, so your game will be successful.

Nothing like monopoly Duck although having houses on park lane is always gonna make me smile happy

end of rant very_happy
