Unfortunately, I know absolutely nothing about the game of backgammon, so I won't be much help with strategy. I was somewhat surprised to learn how much of a skill game backgammon is.

Yeah there is a ton of strategy ni backgammon. The only problem I have is that each time I have picked up a backgammon book to get an idea of the strategy it just looks like a bunch of memorizing first rolls and math and looks very intimidating. I think that if I can get some money on Carbo Poker and start playing more backgammon I may buy a book as it simply seems like too much information if you are not playing regularly.
