Fix Attention on Annie Duke
Annie Duke might not have attained her first WSOP Bracelet until 2004 but Annie is still one of the most powerful poker players around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Sin City. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker bracelet came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While competitors from the "young crowd" of poker go crazy following a big success at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mum" to her 4 kids. She hails from NH and grew up in a family of poker players. If you don’t accept that, watch her sibling, Howard Lederer, in action, Howard taught Annie the best method to play poker.
However, Annie Duke is no small change girl and has won her share of hard games, including knocking out Howard a few times on numerous occasions.
Earning over three million dollars in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to develop his techniques to become a big player at the poker table.
You might just glimpse Annie at the Bellagio, you will see her on the tv and you may even play with her in a net poker match, but do not bank on a simple win. Unless you are a up and coming master, you won’t defeat her. However, it would be cool to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
