I find its always best to try to learn all styles of backgammon so that you can attack an opponents weakpoint. You can tell an opponents weakpoint by his or her style of play.
For example if your opponent is super aggressive and likes to keep hitting your checkers to bring you back to his side, open up the table for them and let them hit you more but make sure you cover the 1 through 3 spots on his end. This way you will be in a great position to launch a counter offensive later on when your opponent is close to bearing off . This strategy works great with super offensive players.
Take risks but still know your moves and always believe that you can win !!
