Annie Duke mightn’t have captured her 1st WSOP Bracelet until ‘04 but she is one of the most feared poker competitors at the cash games at The Bellagio in vegas. Annie’s longawaited World Series of Poker bracelet came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha hi/lo.
While competitors from the "younger crowd" of poker run wild following a huge win at the tournament, Annie heads home to be "mom" to her 4 kids. Annie grew up in New Hampshire into a family of poker players. If you don’t believe that, observe her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who educated her how to wager on the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small change girl and has succeeded at her cut of difficult tables, which includes eliminating Howard a few times along the way. They’re both competitors that have the ability to win 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’s a bit more than simply being great at the game. Mrs. Duke is extremely intelligent and graduated from Columbia U where she double majored in Psychology and English.
When you are seated across from her at the poker table you will see Annie Duke is there to compete in the game and she begins "summing" you up from the time you join the game table. If you can not gamble like a Champion, then don’t waste your time.
Acquiring over $3 million in tournament play, Annie Duke became a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wished to sharpen his skills and grow into a power at the poker table.
You may glimpse her at the Bellagio, you’ll definitely observe her on the television and you may even play against her in a web-based poker match, but do not expect an easy win. Unless you’re a camp-in-the-making, you will not beat her. Although, it would be fun to mention you played at the at the table with "The Duke".
