Focus on Annie Duke
Annie Duke mightn’t have captured her 1st WSOP Bracelet until two thousand and four but Annie is still one of the most powerful poker competitors around the ring games 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 players from the "younger generation" of poker run wild after a big success at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mom" to her 4 kids. She hails from NH and was raised into a family of card players. If you do not believe that, observe her brother, Howard Lederer, in action, Howard taught Annie the best method to play the game.
However, Annie Duke is not a small fry kind of girl and has captured her cut of challenging tables, including eliminating Howard a few times on numerous occasions.
Earning over $3 million in tournament action, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wished to sharpen his abilities and become a big player in poker.
You might observe Annie at the Bellagio, you’ll catch her on the tv and you might just even compete against her in an online poker game, but do not 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".
