Fix Attention on Annie Duke
Annie Duke might not have attained her first World Series of Poker Bracelet until 2004 but Annie is still one of the most feared poker players around the ring matches at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-awaited World Series of Poker bracelet came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While competitors from the "younger generation" of poker go berserk following a huge win at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mum" to her four children. She was born in NH and grew up in a family of card players. If you do not accept that, have a look at her brother, Howard Lederer, when he plays, Howard taught Annie the correct way to play poker.
However, Annie Duke is no small change girl and has earned her share of hard matches, which includes knocking out Howard along the way on several occasions.
Earning well over three million dollars in tournament action, Annie became a advisor to both UltimateBet and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wished to sharpen his abilities to become a force in poker.
You may see her at the Bellagio, you will see her on the television and you may even compete against her in an internet poker match, but don’t expect an easy win. Unless you’re a champion-in-the-making, you will not beat her. However, it is likely to be fun to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
