Mrs. Duke mightn’t have earned her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but she remains one of the most powerful poker competitors around the live action games at The Bellagio in vegas. Annie’s longawaited WSOP bracelet came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While competitors from the "younger crowd" of poker go crazy after a large win at the tournament, Annie heads back home to be "mom" to her 4 kids. Annie grew up in New Hampshire and raised into a family of card players. If you don’t accept that, watch her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who taught her how to compete in the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small-potatoes girl and has won her cut of difficult tables, including eliminating Howard a few times along the way. They’re both competitors that have the ability to win the huge cash and do it with a grin.
Annie is a strong player at any poker table due to the fact that she is a true poker player, but it’s a little more than simply being skilled at the game. Annie Duke is very intelligent 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 will see Annie Duke is there to compete in the game and she starts "summing" you up from the time you approach the game table. If you cannot play like a Champion, then don’t waste your time.
Earning over 3 million dollars in tournament competitions, Annie branched out to become a adviser to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to hone his talents and grow into a power at the tables.
You may catch a glimpse of her at the Bellagio, you’ll observe her on TV and you might even participate against her in a web poker match, but do not expect an easy win. Unless you are a camp-in-the-making, you’ll not beat her. However, it would be exciting to mention you played at the at the table with "The Duke".
