Annie Duke mightn’t have won her 1st WSOP Bracelet until ‘04 but she is still one of the most feared poker competitors 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 hi low.
While players from the "younger crowd" of poker go wild following a huge win at the tables, Annie goes back home and becomes "mom" to her 4 kids. Annie was born in New Hampshire and raised into a family of poker competitors. If you do not believe 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 succeeded at her cut of challenging tables, including eliminating Howard a few times along the way. They’re both players that have the capability to acquire the big bucks and do so with a smile.
Annie is a strong competitor at any poker table due to the fact that she is a natural poker player, but it is a little more than simply being good at the game. Annie is extremely smart and graduated from Columbia University where she majored in English and Psychology.
When you are seated across from her at the poker table you will see Annie Duke is there to play the game and she starts "sizing" you up as soon as you approach the poker table. If you cannot bet like a Champion, then do not waste your time.
Acquiring over $3 million in tournament play, Mrs. Duke branched out to become a adviser to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to sharpen his skills and develop into a power at the poker table.
You might just glimpse her at the Bellagio, you’ll see her on the tv and you might even participate against her in a web-based poker game, but don’t expect an easy win. Unless you are a champion-in-the-making, you will not beat her. However, it’d be fun to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
