Fix Attention on Annie Duke
Annie Duke mightn’t have won her 1st WSOP Bracelet until two thousand and four but she is still one of the most powerful poker competitors around the cash matches at The Bellagio in sin city. Annie’s longawaited WSOP bracelet came with a win at the "buried game" of Omaha hi/low.
While competitors from the "younger generation" of poker go wild following a huge win at the tables, Annie goes home and becomes "mom" to her four kids. Annie grew up in New Hampshire into a family of poker players. If you don’t believe that, check out her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who coached her how to gamble on the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has captured her cut of demanding tables, including eliminating Howard along the way on a couple of occasions. They are both competitors that have the ability to win the big money and do so with a grin.
Annie Duke is a tough competitor at any poker table considering that she is a natural poker player, but it is a little more than just being good at the game. Mrs. Duke is surprisingly smart and graduated from Columbia University where she took a double major in English and Psychology.
When you are seated across from Annie at the table you’ll see Annie is there to play the game and she begins "sizing" you up from the time you sit down at the game table. If you can’t play like a camp, then do not waste your time.
Acquiring over $3 million in tournament competitions, Annie Duke became a adviser to both the UltimateBet poker room and actor Ben Affleck, who wished to hone his abilities and become a force at the tables.
You will likely see her at the Bellagio, you’ll definitely see her on TV and you might even participate against her in an on-line poker match, but don’t expect a simple win. Except of course you’re a champion-in-the-making, you will not defeat her. However, it would be fun to say you sat at the at the table with "The Duke".
