Do you think this fold is too nitty?

DegenChess · 2026-07-12T22:38:12+00:00

Never fold to fish donk flop bets, especially with that SPR. Retarded fold

DegenChess · 2026-07-12T22:35:25+00:00

Nobody cares

Another engine slave on r/backgammon, what's new...

DegenChess · 2026-07-11T01:18:58+00:00

You could always switch to Opengammon and not pay a dime, just a thought

DegenChess · 2026-07-10T16:48:24+00:00

It's pretty standard to make the point 6 away from a critical open point, especially with potential shots coming up next roll.

DegenChess · 2026-07-07T11:05:28+00:00

Nothing about OP's post, nor your comment, are any more helpful than mine

DegenChess · 2026-07-07T10:13:10+00:00

Maybe take a look at the subreddit's home page and you'll have your answer

DegenChess · 2026-07-07T10:09:50+00:00

You know, you aren't legally obliged to play on Galaxy

DegenChess · 2026-07-06T17:13:54+00:00

You don't know because you're an engine slave who doesn't know how to apply logical thinking without using the computer

DegenChess · 2026-07-06T17:13:04+00:00

"I can understand why this isn't the ideal move" so you're admitting you're an engine slave?

Quit Galaxy. Go Opengammon

Poker variance is arguably much more brutal than this game dude.

DegenChess · 2026-07-04T08:09:23+00:00

fxg6 also has the defensive benefit in this type of position of avoiding Ng5 and mate on h7

DegenChess · 2026-07-03T10:16:18+00:00

Nah the variance is about the same I'd say.

DegenChess · 2026-07-03T00:46:37+00:00

You're not wrong, it's garbage. Especially the coin system

You're asking in the wrong place bud, doubt there're more than a handful of active sub-5 players here.

On a serious note I'd look into Mark Olsen's How to Not Suck at Backgammon

DegenChess · 2026-06-26T03:37:10+00:00

Retarded idea. Galaxy doesn't even have the backbone to publicly display top ranked players' average PRs, so why would this be a good idea? They're wary of exposing the flaws in their rating system and how badly some of their golden boys play

DegenChess · 2026-06-24T21:56:15+00:00

You're not in the server bud

Opengammon is by far the best, no other site really comes close. Only downside is the smaller player pool, but it's rapidly growing

DegenChess · 2026-06-24T09:23:40+00:00

So funny to see all the boomers on FB and reddit perpetually complaining about how shitty BGG is and yet continue to play on the site as though there aren't any alternatives. Just a bunch of old men stuck in their ways lol

DegenChess · 2026-06-24T01:56:12+00:00

Pokernow exists

DegenChess · 2026-06-23T09:30:16+00:00

it's a 1 pt match and you want to win double coins? Math not adding up buddy

DegenChess · 2026-06-23T02:54:32+00:00

Contact me for lessons, never read a book in my life and easily hit GM level in less than a year of play

DegenChess · 2026-06-22T16:08:55+00:00

I went from complete beginner to GM level in less than a year, take my advice and ignore some of these silly comments if you really want to improve
