Playing online backgammon against real players is really much more fun than playing against a machine, but you might find it frustrating if you're playing against great players. It's a good idea to tell your opponent that you're a beginner. If he doesn't want to play with you, you'll be better off with a different opponent anyway.

Backgammon is a game. Remember it's supposed to be fun. Don't expect to win in the beginning. Just play the game until you get the hang of it.
