Annie Duke might not have won her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until ‘04 but she is still one of the most feared poker competitors around the cash games at The Bellagio in sin city. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker bracelet came with a win at the "cast aside game" of Omaha hi lo.
While players from the "younger generation" of poker run crazy following a big win at the tables, Annie goes back home to be "mom" to her four children. She was born in New Hampshire and raised into a family of card players. If you do not accept that, check out her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who educated her how to participate in the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has succeeded at her cut of hard tables, including knocking out Howard along the way on several occasions. They are both players that have the capability to win the big cash and do it with a smile.
Annie Duke is a tough player at any poker table due to the fact that she is a true poker player, but it is a bit more than simply being strong at the game. Annie Duke is surprisingly smart and graduated from Columbia U where she majored in English and Psychology.
When you are seated across from Annie at the poker table you will see Annie Duke is there to play the game and she begins "sizing" you up as soon as you join the game table. If you can’t compete like a winner, then do not waste your time.
Acquiring over three million dollars in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wished to enhance his techniques and grow into a force at the tables.
You might just catch a glimpse of her at the Bellagio, you will observe her on TV and you may even play against her in an internet poker match, but do not anticipate an easy win. Except of course you are a camp-in-the-making, you won’t defeat her. Although, it would be fun to mention you played at the same table as "The Duke".
