Focus Attention on Annie Duke
Annie Duke mightn’t have attained her first WSOP Bracelet until 2004 but Annie is still one of the most feared poker competitors around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. Annie’s long-awaited World Series of Poker bracelet came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While competitors from the "young crowd" of poker go crazy after a big win at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mum" to her four kids. She hails from New Hampshire and grew up in a family of card players. If you do not believe that, check out her brother, Howard Lederer, when he plays, Howard taught Annie the correct way to play poker.
However, Annie Duke is no small-potatoes girl and has captured her cut of difficult games, which includes eliminating Howard a few times on several occasions.
Earning over $3 million in tournament play, Annie became a advisor to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to hone his techniques and become a big player in poker.
You might observe Annie at the Bellagio, you will catch her on the television and you may even compete with her in an internet poker game, but do not bank on an easy win. Unless you are a up and coming master, you’ll not beat her. However, it would be cool to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
