Concentrate on Annie Duke
Annie Duke mightn’t have captured her 1st WSOP Bracelet until 2004 but she is still one of the most feared poker players around the ring games at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-awaited WSOP bracelet came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While players from the "young crowd" of poker run amok following a huge success at the tables, Annie heads home to be "mommy" to her four kids. She hails from New Hampshire 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 her how to compete in the game.
However, Annie Duke is not a small change girl and has captured her share of challenging matches, including eliminating Howard a few times on numerous occasions.
Winning over 3 million dollars in tournament play, Annie became a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to develop his techniques to become a force in poker.
You might run into Annie at the Bellagio, you will see her on television and you may even compete against her in a web poker game, but do not count on a simple win. Unless you are a up and coming master, you’ll not defeat her. However, it is likely to be fun to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".
