Mrs. Duke might not have captured her first World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but she is one of the most feared poker competitors around the cash matches at The Bellagio in sin city. Annie’s longawaited WSOP bracelet came with success at the "cast aside game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.

While competitors from the "younger generation" of poker go crazy following a huge win at the tables, Annie heads back home to be "mom" to her 4 kids. She grew up in New Hampshire into a family of card competitors. If you don’t believe that, observe her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who educated her how to bet on the game.

However, Annie 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’re both competitors that have the capability to capture the huge money and do so with a smile.

Annie Duke is a strong player at any table considering that she is a real poker player, but it is a little more than just being good at the game. Annie is incredibly smart and graduated from Columbia U where she took a double major in English and Psychology.

When you sit across from her at the poker table you know Annie Duke is there to play the game and she begins "summing" you up as soon as you sit down at the game table. If you can’t gamble like a camp, then don’t bother.

Acquiring over 3 million dollars in tournament competitions, Mrs. Duke branched out to become a adviser to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to hone his abilities and develop into a power at the tables.

You might glimpse her at the Bellagio, you’ll observe Annie on television and you might even participate against her in a net poker game, but do not count on a simple win. Except of course you’re a champion-in-the-making, you won’t beat her. Although, it’d be fun to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
