Fix Attention on Annie Duke
Mrs. Duke mightn’t have captured her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until ‘04 but she is still one of the most powerful poker competitors at the cash games at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker bracelet came with success at the "cast aside game" of Omaha hi/low.
While players from the "younger generation" of poker go wild following a big win at the tables, Annie goes back home and becomes "mom" to her 4 children. Annie grew up in New Hampshire and raised into a family of poker competitors. If you don’t believe that, check out her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who educated her how to compete in the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small change girl and has captured her share of challenging tables, including knocking out Howard a few times along the way. They are both players that have the skill to capture the huge bucks and do it with a smile.
Annie Duke is a strong competitor at any table due to the fact that she is a natural poker player, but it is a bit more than simply being great at the game. Annie Duke is surprisingly smart and graduated from Columbia University where she double majored in English and Psychology.
When you take a seat across from her at the poker table you’ll see Annie is there to play the game and she begins "sizing" you up from the time you sit down at the game table. If you can not gamble like a Champion, then do not waste your time.
Earning over three million dollars in tournament competitions, Mrs. Duke became a adviser to both the UltimateBet poker room and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wished to sharpen his skills and develop into a force at the tables.
You might catch a glimpse of her at the Bellagio, you’ll definitely notice Annie on TV and you may even play against her in an online poker match, but do not expect an easy win. Unless you’re a champion-in-the-making, you’ll not defeat her. Although, it would be exciting to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
