Concentrate on Annie Duke
Annie Duke mightn’t have attained her first World Series of Poker Bracelet until 2004 but she remains one of the most feared poker players around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Sin City. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker win came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While players from the "younger generation" of poker run wild after a huge success at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mom" to her 4 children. She was born in New Hampshire and grew up in a family of poker players. If you do not believe that, have a look at her brother, Howard Lederer, in action, Howard taught her how-to compete in poker.
However, Annie Duke is not a small-potatoes girl and has won her cut of difficult matches, including knocking out Howard along the way on several occasions.
Earning over 3 million dollars in tournament action, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet and actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to hone his abilities to become a big player in poker.
You may notice Annie at the Bellagio, you’ll see her on TV and you may even compete against her in a web-based poker match, but do not bank on an easy win. Unless you are a up and coming master, you will not defeat her. However, it is likely to be cool to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
