All that analysing other people, working out the odds and deciding how much money to risk would tire me out. The only card games I've ever played are Whist, Rummy and Pontoon, so maybe I wasn't at quite the disadvantage I thought I was, but I know that I would be useless at poker. She is honest about poker, affectionate about the poker family she has made, and very entertaining with her turns of phrase. I think I got my head around it 3/4s of the way in! Coren writes well, of course. I had to read a glossary of poker terms to have the vaguest clue about what was going on in the game. It's a mixture of "how I fell in love with poker and the things that were going on in my life" and "how I became the first woman to win the European Poker Tour", with the autobiographical stuff making up the bulk of each chapter and then an analysis of that tournament winning series of games at the end. So, even though I know nothing about poker, I thought I'd give her poker autobiography a go.
I follow her on twitter because she's witty and clever but still seems down to earth. I like Victoria Coren when I see her on the telly.
