Fix Attention on Annie Duke
Annie Duke might not have earned her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until ‘04 but she remains one of the most powerful poker competitors at the live action games at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue WSOP bracelet came with success at the "buried game" of Omaha hi lo.
While competitors from the "younger generation" of poker run wild following a large win at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mom" to her four children. She grew up in New Hampshire and raised into a family of card competitors. If you do not believe that, check out her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who taught her how to play the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small change girl and has succeeded at her share of hard tables, which includes knocking out Howard a few times along the way. They are both competitors that have the capability to win the big money and do it with a smile.
Annie Duke is a strong competitor at any table due to the fact that she is a genuine poker player, but it is a little more than just being skilled at the game. Annie is incredibly smart and graduated from Columbia University where she double majored in Psychology and English.
When you take a seat across from Annie at the table you’ll see she is there to compete in the game and she starts "sizing" you up from the time you sit down at the poker table. If you cannot wager like a winner, then do not bother.
Earning over 3 million dollars in tournament competitions, Annie Duke became a adviser to both the UltimateBet poker room and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to sharpen his techniques and develop into a force at the tables.
You might glimpse her at the Bellagio, you’ll see Annie on television and you might even compete against her in a cyber poker game, but don’t count on a simple win. Except of course you’re a champion-in-the-making, you will not beat her. Although, it would be exciting to mention you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
