In 2006, the internet was a playground for the youth. A group of intelligent and resourceful teenagers harnessed its power to conquer the game of poker. Using online aliases such as Good2cu, Apathy, and Raptor, they exchanged strategies and advice through online chats and message boards. They emerged from their homes in Fort Worth, Texas; Okemos, Michigan; and Toronto, Canada, to meet in Vegas. There, they made a fortune playing poker, even before they were legally allowed to enter a casino. As teenagers with a lot of money and no obligations, they lived a life of partying and transformed from internet geeks with no life skills into legends. This is the fascinating true story of the rise and fall of internet poker, as told by its most unexpected heroes: college dropouts who used social media to bluff their way to the top.
