2 Backgammon Tips

These are my two backgammon tips for you:
First -
If you are slow during a backgammon competition, don't abandon a strategic supporting point. It would be smarter to wait for a suitable throw, and it might even (hopefully not) be your only chance to win.
Second -
If you're having problems deciding what move to play - don't think and hit! A hit is a good choice in many cases, especially if you hit into your opponent’s most vulnerable point - at his home.

Hope you'll find these two backgammon tips usefull.
I think about making this a routine.
