Concentrate on Annie Duke
Mrs. Duke mightn't have won her first WSOP Bracelet until '04 but she is still one of the most powerful poker competitors at the ring games at The Bellagio in 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 crazy following a huge win at the tournament, Annie goes home to be "mom" to her 4 children. 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 educated her how to participate in the game.
However, Mrs. Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has won her cut of demanding tables, including eliminating Howard along the way on a couple of occasions. They are both competitors that have the skill to win the large cash and do it with a smile.
Annie Duke is a tough player at any poker table due to the fact that she is a genuine poker player, but it is a little more than just being skilled at the game. Annie is incredibly intelligent and graduated from Columbia University where she took a double major in Psychology and English.
When you sit across from her at the table you know Annie is there to compete in the game and she begins "sizing" you up from the time you join the game table. If you can't gamble like a camp, then don't waste your time.
Acquiring over $3 million in tournament competitions, Annie became a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to sharpen his skills and become a force at the poker table.
You might just glimpse her at the Bellagio, you'll definitely observe Annie on television and you may even compete against her in a web-based poker match, but don't count on a simple win. Unless you're a champion-in-the-making, you will not defeat her. However, it would be fun to mention you sat at the at the table with "The Duke".
