The popularity of poker has exploded around America in recent years, thanks in large part to nationally televised tournaments, regularly scheduled TV series focusing exclusively on the game, and groups like the Tiltboys. Anyone with an interest in poker or gambling is certain to enjoy reading about this unique and famous collection of professional poker players.To get an idea of what kind of guys the Tiltboys are, all one has to do is imagine the characters from “Animal House,” only 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, a life of playing poker professionally. This “Swingers”?meets?”Rounders” story, written by the Tiltboys themselves, offers plenty of true tales about gambling, friendship, and Wednesday night poker. These anecdotes are a testament to just how amusing a life devoted to excess and debauchery can actually be.
