backgammon versus poker

[jimmyd1953]

i used to play a lot of backgammon in the 70s and even had the privalege to play with mrs. Jacoby. ( look up on net and she and her husband were top players in the world in bridge and backgammon), on line backgammon stinks. but live i really enjoyed backgammon way more than poker. there is a saying in gammon -its the cruelest game in the world- poker comes mighty close. did u know that backgammon is over 2000 years old, the oldest game that is actively played in the world. online its poker, no game can compete.
