Focus Attention on Annie Duke
Annie Duke might not have won her first World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but Annie is still 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 a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While competitors from the "younger generation" of poker run wild after a big win at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mum" to her four children. She hails from NH and was raised into a family of poker players. If you don’t believe that, observe her brother, Howard Lederer, in action, who taught her how to play the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small change girl and has captured her cut of challenging matches, which includes knocking out Howard a few times on several occasions.
Earning over 3 million dollars in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to develop his techniques and become a big player at the poker table.
You may see Annie at the Bellagio, you’ll see her on TV and you might just even play against her in a web-based poker match, but do not bank on an easy win. Unless you are a rising star, you won’t beat her. although, it is likely to be fun to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
