In September 2006, Victoria Coren won the European Poker
Championship, and with it a cool one million dollars. Overnight,
she became one of the world's most famous players. But how did she
do it?
In For Richer, For Poorer, Victoria Coren's long-awaited poker
memoir, she answers this question. It is an intensely honest story
of twenty years of obsession, of highs and lows, wins and losses,
friendships, power plays, loneliness and addiction. Coren takes us
from the grimy underworld of illegal cash games to the high glamour
of Monte Carlo and Las Vegas, vividly capturing the incredible
excitement of a poker match and getting to the heart of why poker
has become the world's most popular card game. It is a razor-sharp,
accessible, entertaining, and intensely gripping story.
