Fix Attention on Annie Duke
Monday, 7. October 2013
Mrs. Duke may not have captured her 1st WSOP Bracelet until 2004 but she is one of the most powerful poker competitors at the ring matches at The Bellagio in sin city. Annie’s longawaited WSOP bracelet came with a win at the "cast aside game" of Omaha hi low.
While players from the "younger crowd" of poker go crazy after a big win at the tables, Annie heads back home and becomes "mom" to her four kids. She was born in New Hampshire into a family of card competitors. If you don’t accept that, observe her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who coached her how to wager on the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small-potatoes girl and has won her cut of difficult tables, including eliminating Howard a few times along the way. They’re both players that have the ability to acquire the big cash and do so with a smile.
Mrs. Duke is a strong competitor at any poker table due to the fact that she is a real poker player, but it is a little more than simply being skilled at the game. Annie is extremely intelligent and graduated from Columbia University where she majored in English and Psychology.
When you take a seat across from her at the table you’ll see Annie Duke is there to compete in the game and she starts "sizing" you up as soon as you approach the table. If you can not wager like a camp, then do not waste your time.
Earning over three million dollars in tournament competitions, Annie became a adviser to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to sharpen his abilities and grow into a force at the tables.
You may catch a glimpse of her at the Bellagio, you will observe Annie on television and you might even compete against her in a net poker game, but don’t expect an easy win. Except of course you’re a camp-in-the-making, you won’t defeat her. However, it’d be fun to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
