Caught her appearance on R4 this morning. Her husband's anxiety about her poker playing were allayed when she told him she bought her first flat in London from her poker winnings. That is undeniably impressive.

I imagine Mitchell as his character from Peep Show.

Plus, although it's called No Limit Texas Hold Them poker, there is a limit to what you can lose, which is the tournament entry/buy in price. It's not like those games that you see in TV dramas where you raise someone your house and throw your keys on the table.

It is if it's a cash game. It's Hold 'em, FFS! (there is no string betting like you see on said 'dramas', though).
