Annie Duke may not have captured her first World Series of Poker Bracelet until ‘04 but she is one of the most powerful poker competitors around the live action games at The Bellagio in sin city. Annie’s longawaited World Series of Poker bracelet came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha hi/lo.
While players from the "younger crowd" of poker run crazy following a large win at the tournament, Annie heads back home to be "mom" to her four children. Annie grew up 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 gamble on the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small change girl and has won her cut of challenging tables, including eliminating Howard along the way on several occasions. They’re both players that have the capability to capture the big bucks and do so with a smile.
Mrs. Duke is a strong competitor at any table due to the fact that she is a legitimate poker player, but it’s a bit more than just being good at the game. Mrs. Duke is very smart and graduated from Columbia U where she double majored in English and Psychology.
When you take a seat across from her at the table you will see Annie Duke is there to play the game and she begins "summing" you up from the time you approach the game table. If you can not wager like a Champion, then do not waste your time.
Winning over three million dollars in tournament competitions, Annie Duke became a adviser to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to enhance his abilities and become a force at the poker table.
You might catch a glimpse of her at the Bellagio, you’ll observe her on TV and you may even participate against her in an on-line poker match, but don’t expect a simple win. Except of course you are a camp-in-the-making, you won’t defeat her. Although, it would be fun to say you sat at the at the table with "The Duke".
