Concentrate on Annie Duke
Annie Duke may not have captured her first World Series of Poker Bracelet until ‘04 but she is one of the most feared poker players at the ring matches at The Bellagio in sin city. 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 go crazy following a huge win at the tournament, Annie goes back home and becomes "mom" to her four kids. Annie grew up in New Hampshire and raised into a family of card players. If you do not accept that, check out her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who educated her how to wager on the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small change girl and has captured her cut of demanding tables, including knocking out Howard a few times along the way. They are both players that have the capability to capture the huge cash and do so with a smile.
Mrs. Duke is a strong player at any table due to the fact that she is a real poker player, but it’s a bit more than simply being good at the game. Annie Duke is very smart and graduated from Columbia University where she took a double major in Psychology and English.
When you sit across from Annie at the table you’ll see Annie Duke is there to play the game and she starts "sizing" you up as soon as you join the game table. If you cannot compete like a Champion, then do not bother.
Winning over $3 million in tournament play, Annie Duke became a adviser to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to hone his abilities and become a force at the tables.
You might just glimpse her at the Bellagio, you’ll see Annie on television and you may even participate against her in an on-line poker match, but do not anticipate an easy win. Except of course you’re a camp-in-the-making, you will not beat her. Although, it’d be exciting to mention you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
