There have been highs and lows and Coren is open about them in this intensely personal memoir. In the intervening twenty years she's won a million dollars, but for her it's never been about the money.įor me the essence of the book is that within the poker community (and despite the fact that there are some seriously dodgy people within it) she's found friendship. She was unhappy at school, preferring the company of her brother's straight-talking friends to the bitchy all-girl atmosphere at school.
Victoria was one of life's risk-takers and she leant to the more adventurous side of her father's family. Giles played Poker but wasn't really a gambler. He called it Pontoon but the most valuable lesson was that grandfather was always the dealer and always the winner. As a child she and brother Giles were taught to play Blackjack by their grandfather.
