Synopsis
If you have any interest in poker or gambling, you will enjoy reading about the Tiltboys. Even casual poker fans will recognize Phil Gordon, the ringleader of the bunch, as the expert commentator on Bravo's "Celebrity Poker Showdown." Imagine the guys from "Animal House" with high SAT scores. They are a bunch of buddies who went to Stanford together and began a weekly poker game that led to weekend trips to Las Vegas and, for a few of them, to a life of playing poker professionally. Phil Gordon made dot.com millions and is now living the good life in the poker world and on television. Perry Friedman won a World Series of Poker event a couple years ago. While Dave "Diceboy" Lambert is, according to the other Tiltboys, the luckiest human being on the planet. It's "Swingers"-meets-"Rounders." Read these true tales of gambling, friendship, and Wednesday night poker. These anecdotes are a testament to just how amusing a life devoted to excess and debauchery can be.

From the Publisher
Praise for the Tiltboys "This book goes to show you how one group of guys that play poker together can go on to rule the world!"--Phil Hellmuth Jr.—Poker legend and author of Play Poker Like the Pros

Their cheerful message: quit your job, ignore the advice of your loved ones and go live forever on the Island of the Lost Boys. Read this book at your own peril."--Ira Glass—Host of public radio’s award-winning This American Life
"Thank you, Tiltboys! You’ve changed my life! It drives my girlfriend wild when I spank her with your new book Tales from the Tiltboys."--Chris "Jesus" Ferguson—2000 World Series of Poker Champion and Honorary Tiltboy
"If enough people buy this book, maybe I won’t have to pay Perry to be quiet during tournaments anymore."--Erik Seidel—Six-time WSOP bracelet winner
