Annie Duke might not have captured her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until 2004 but she remains one of the most powerful poker players around the live action matches at The Bellagio in sin city. Annie’s longawaited WSOP bracelet came with success at the "cast aside game" of Omaha hi/low.
While players from the "younger crowd" of poker run crazy after a huge win at the tournament, Annie heads back home to be "mom" to her four kids. She grew up in New Hampshire and raised into a family of card competitors. If you do not accept that, observe her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who educated her how to play the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small-potatoes girl and has won her cut of demanding tables, including eliminating Howard a few times along the way. They are both competitors that have the skill to acquire the big cash and do it with a grin.
Annie is a strong player at any table considering that she is a genuine poker player, but it is a little more than simply being good at the game. Mrs. Duke is incredibly smart and graduated from Columbia U where she took a double major in English and Psychology.
When you take a seat across from Annie at the poker table you will see she is there to play the game and she starts "summing" you up as soon as you join the table. If you can’t wager like a Champion, then don’t bother.
Earning over $3 million in tournament competitions, Annie branched out to become a adviser to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wished to enhance his skills and develop into a power at the tables.
You may catch a glimpse of her at the Bellagio, you’ll see Annie on the tv and you may even participate against her in a web-based poker match, but don’t count on an easy win. Except of course you are a camp-in-the-making, you will not beat her. Although, it would be fun to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
