![]() Having read her poker columns for this paper, I knew that she can describe the process of the game with clarity and insight but this book is of another order altogether. It has also been good to her in other ways: consoling or diverting her during heartbreak and loss – and helping her write this book. She even talks about poker in a way that recalls Woody Allen's quip about sex: "Is poker horrible? It is if you're doing it right."īut poker has, eventually, been good to her: in 2006 she won half a million pounds on the European Poker Tour, a four-day long poker marathon. So what if it's sick and wrong? It certainly looks as though she spends almost all her free time at the table. I would not normally imagine it was anyone's business but her own, but she does raise the matter every so often – yet never quite comes out to say, flatly, that she is in love with the game. ![]() Quite a few times in this book Victoria Coren mentions that she has not settled down with a husband and children. ![]() That subtitle, though, is more revealing than you might think. ![]()
