Focus on Annie Duke
Annie Duke might not have earned her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until 2004 but she remains one of the most feared poker players at the cash matches at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue WSOP bracelet came with success at the "buried game" of Omaha hi lo.
While players from the "younger crowd" of poker run wild following a large win at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mom" to her 4 children. She 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 participate in the game.
However, Mrs. Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has succeeded at her share of difficult tables, including eliminating Howard along the way on a couple of occasions. They’re both players that have the skill to acquire the huge $$$$$ and do so with a smile.
Mrs. Duke is a strong player at any poker table considering that she is a legitimate poker player, but it is a bit more than simply being great at the game. Annie Duke is very smart and graduated from Columbia U where she majored in English and Psychology.
When you sit across from her at the poker table you know Annie Duke is there to play the game and she begins "summing" you up as soon as you approach the game table. If you cannot wager like a Champion, then do not waste your time.
Earning over three million dollars in tournament competitions, Mrs. Duke became a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wished to hone his techniques and grow into a force at the poker table.
You will likely catch a glimpse of her at the Bellagio, you will observe Annie on the tv and you may even play against her in an internet poker game, but do not anticipate an easy win. Except of course you are a camp-in-the-making, you won’t beat her. Although, it would be fun to mention you played at the at the table with "The Duke".
