Fix Attention on Annie Duke
Annie Duke might not have earned her first WSOP Bracelet until 2004 but she remains one of the most powerful poker competitors around the live action matches at The Bellagio in sin city. Annie’s longawaited World Series of Poker bracelet came with success at the "cast aside game" of Omaha high-low.
While players from the "younger crowd" of poker go crazy after a big win at the tables, Annie heads back home to be "mom" to her 4 children. Annie grew up in New Hampshire and raised into a family of poker competitors. If you don’t believe that, watch her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who educated her how to bet on the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small change girl and has won her cut of demanding tables, which includes eliminating Howard along the way on several occasions. They are both players that have the skill to capture the huge $$$$$ and do so with a smile.
Annie Duke is a strong player at any 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 Duke is incredibly smart and graduated from Columbia U where she double majored in English and Psychology.
When you take a seat across from Annie at the poker table you’ll see she is there to compete in the game and she starts "summing" you up as soon as you approach the table. If you can’t wager like a Champion, then don’t waste your time.
Earning over three million dollars in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who was looking to enhance his skills and become a power at the tables.
You might glimpse her at the Bellagio, you’ll see her on TV and you might even play against her in an internet poker match, but don’t anticipate an easy win. Unless you are a champion-in-the-making, you’ll not defeat her. Although, it would be fun to say you sat at the at the table with "The Duke".
