slapdash Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Re: PL Backgammon Tourney if there is skill involved ill leave alone. At least with poker i know it is fixed so i'll win a hand eventually. Backgammon's fixed as well. One of my opponents told me. I lost in round 4. Good luck, GaF.

I'm all but through to the next round (though my opponent has decided to discon - I have 3 pips he has 33!!!!!) That happened to me yesterday. Rather inconsiderate, since you have to wait several minutes for him to be timed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 Re: PL Backgammon Tourney Theres a ranking scheme - that seems to be what people use to decide whether to play you at cash games or not..... From what I can gather, it moves the same regardless of stakes (but depending on opponents ranking, maybe) I get the feeling that there is an "opportunity" to play and deliberately lose at low stakes, then play against "bad" opponents for higher stakes (with your lower ranking :ok) ....... Bot certainb yet, but will be investigating further ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
