Tales from the Tiltboys - Phil Gordon

2007-04-26T07:32:00.000-07:00

PHIL “WORLD HOPPING ARTISTE” GORDON Phil was the easiest birth you could hope for. I barely noticed the size of his head, but I felt something when we got to his privates. No, not THAT. I’m talking about the horseshoe that was up his ass. —Phil’s Mom Phil is six-foot-nine, charming, rich, and retired. He travels the world for fun and adventure while television show offers and book deals

JK “TILTDAD” SCHEINBERG I reported directly to JK for a while at Apple, but I never laid eyes on him or spoke to him except when playing poker. —Michael Chow JK became a Tiltboy in much the same way the rest of us did—he was screwed by one. Unlike the rest of us, he married her. The latter was surprising—not that he married Kim per se, but that he married at all. Nobody seemed

The following message was sent to the Tiltboys list after the most recent home game:For those of you who were not at the last game, Diceboy's magic was clearly back (if it ever went away).Two hands in particular tell the story.The first hand was spit and shit, where Diceboy left to call his wife but Paul played his hand for him while he was gone. Diceboy called all the way, then replaced on the

solo Vegas trip report

2007-01-15T14:52:00.000-08:00

A trip report I wrote back in August following BARGE: The first week of August is one of eight weeks during the year that’s a peak activity period for my recently adopted line of work, so I'd resigned myself to missing BARGE indefinitely. (to wit: Pussy ad infinitum) First good beat story of the trip: Chuck and Peter are forced to break with 15-year tradition and move BARGE to the weekend

The New Diceboy?

Lennie ... he's the new Diceboy? Wednesday - Tiltboy game. I had 4 or 5 showdowns with Dice for big pots ... and won them all. Including pulling a 2 outer on the river to take a huge pot. By the end of the evening,

Who Is The Player?

2006-12-20T13:58:00.000-08:00

As a followup to Rafe's logic puzzle, I submit the following "Who is the player?" quiz: At some point during a stud hi-lo hand at the game last Wednesday, someone made the comment "we should play where if you don't look at your cards, you can play for half price." Sure enough, the next hand someone announces "7 card hi-lo stud, if you don't look at your hand, your bets and calls are half-price.

Tiltboys: The Movie!

2006-11-06T15:19:00.000-08:00

Very exciting news, we've optioned the movie rights for Tales From the Tiltboys to Lucky Crow Films. Lucky Crow produced the smash indie hit, My Date With Drew, among other successes. They are currently working on the financing, if anyone is interested in betting on the Tiltboys to overcome all odds of actually getting a movie made. We'd fund it ourselves, but since half of our proceeds go to

This is an excerpt from Chapter Three, a brief glimpse into the life of Perry “The Baiter” Friedman There is really no need to interview Perry, as the spewage is constant. If I took notes in shorthand on speed, it would be hard to keep up with the banter. ~ Amy Calistri We get this question all the time. “Does Perry ever shut up? Ever?” After more than a dozen years of

Tales From the Tiltboys: Dave "Diceboy" Lambert

2006-04-17T06:55:00.000-07:00

And speaking of writing... here is a sample of Tales From The Tiltboys. This is an excerpt from Chapter Two, a brief glimpse into the life of Dave 'Diceboy' Lambert. When we talk about Dave Lambert, aka Diceboy, we are often accused of exaggerating, if not flat out lying. We claim Dave is six sigmas out on the distribution curve for luck over the average human lifetime. At times, this seems

Thought I'd write a postscript for our "working" relationship with Bluff Magazine. In theory we were going to contribute original content in exchange for some book publicity and perks. In practice they tended to take our content, edit and publish it without any collaboration or final review. We cut out after 5 articles. Although the writing bears not a hell of a lot of resemblance to our

A Fine Tiltboy Moment

2006-03-24T18:12:00.000-08:00

I was in Vegas for the National Fantasy Baseball Championships (NFBC) last weekend. I brought two copies of Tales From The Tiltboys to give to a couple of friends in the industry. I had already autographed one for Jason Grey of Mastersball.com. The other was still in its original shipping package from our publisher for Perry Van Hook, with whom I bought into a $1250 entry league. At dinner on
