Concentrate on Annie Duke

by Mayra on Jul.12, 2013, under Poker

Annie Duke mightn’t have won her first WSOP Bracelet until 2004 but she is still one of the most powerful poker players around the ring games at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. Annie’s long-awaited World Series of Poker win came with success at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.

While players from the "younger generation" of poker go crazy after a huge success at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mommy" to her 4 kids. She hails from New Hampshire and was raised into a family of card players. If you don’t accept that, observe her sibling, Howard Lederer, in action, Howard taught Annie how to play poker.

However, Annie Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has captured her cut of difficult games, which includes eliminating Howard a few times on numerous occasions.

Earning well over three million dollars in tournament play, Annie branched out to become a advisor to both UltimateBet and actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to develop his techniques to become a big player at the poker table.

You might observe her at the Bellagio, you will see her on television and you might even compete with her in a web-based poker game, but do not bank on an easy win. Unless you are a champion-in-the-making, you won’t defeat her. although, it is likely to be cool to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
