Annie Duke might not have won her first World Series of Poker Bracelet until ‘04 but she remains one of the most powerful poker players around the ring matches at The Bellagio in vegas. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker bracelet came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha high-low.
While competitors from the "younger generation" of poker go crazy following a huge win at the tournament, Annie goes home and becomes "mom" to her 4 children. Annie was born in New Hampshire and raised into a family of poker competitors. If you do not accept that, watch her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who coached her how to participate in the game.
However, Mrs. Duke is no small-potatoes girl and has won her cut of demanding tables, which includes eliminating Howard along the way on a couple of occasions. They are both players that have the ability to acquire the large cash and do it with a grin.
Annie Duke is a strong player at any poker table due to the fact that she is a natural poker player, but it is a bit more than simply being great at the game. Annie is incredibly intelligent and graduated from Columbia U where she double majored in English and Psychology.
When you are seated across from Annie at the table you will see Annie is there to play the game and she begins "sizing" you up from the time you approach the poker table. If you can not wager like a camp, then don’t waste your time.
Winning over 3 million dollars in tournament competitions, Annie Duke branched out to become a adviser to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to sharpen his techniques and develop into a force at the poker table.
You will likely catch a glimpse of her at the Bellagio, you will see Annie on television and you may even play against her in a cyber poker game, but do not anticipate an easy win. Unless you are a champion-in-the-making, you’ll not beat her. However, it would be fun to say you played at the at the table with "The Duke".
