Annie Duke may not have captured her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but she is still one of the most feared poker competitors around the live action games at The Bellagio in sin city. Annie’s longawaited WSOP bracelet came with a win at the "buried game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While competitors from the "younger crowd" of poker go crazy following a huge win at the tournament, Annie goes back home and becomes "mom" to her four children. Annie grew up in New Hampshire and raised into a family of card competitors. If you do not believe that, observe her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who educated her how to wager on the game.
However, Mrs. Duke is no small-potatoes girl and has won her cut of difficult tables, which includes knocking out Howard a few times along the way. They’re both competitors that have the ability to win the big cash and do so with a smile.
Annie is a strong player at any table because she is a real poker player, but it’s a little more than simply being great at the game. Annie is surprisingly intelligent and graduated from Columbia U where she majored in Psychology and English.
When you are seated across from her at the poker table you will see Annie is there to compete in the game and she begins "summing" you up from the time you approach the poker table. If you cannot gamble like a camp, then don’t bother.
Acquiring over 3 million dollars in tournament play, Annie Duke branched out to become a adviser to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who was looking to sharpen his techniques and become a power at the tables.
You may glimpse her at the Bellagio, you will see her on the tv and you may even participate against her in an online poker game, but do not count on a simple win. Unless you’re a champion-in-the-making, you’ll not defeat her. However, it’d be exciting to mention you sat at the at the table with "The Duke".
