Mrs. Duke might not have earned her 1st WSOP Bracelet until '04 but she is still one of the most powerful poker players 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 run crazy after a big win at the tournament, Annie heads back home to be "mom" to her 4 children. Annie grew up in New Hampshire and raised into a family of card competitors. If you do not believe that, observe her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who educated her how to bet on the game.

However, Mrs. Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has captured her cut of hard tables, which includes knocking out Howard a few times along the way. They're both players that have the capability to acquire the huge $$$$$ and do so with a smile.

Annie Duke is a tough competitor at any poker table considering that she is a genuine poker player, but it is a bit more than simply being great at the game. Annie Duke is surprisingly smart and graduated from Columbia University where she majored in Psychology and English.

When you take a seat across from Annie at the table you'll see Annie is there to play the game and she begins "sizing" you up from the time you approach the game table. If you can not gamble like a camp, then don't waste your time.

Earning over three million dollars in tournament play, Mrs. Duke branched out to become a adviser to both the UltimateBet website and actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to hone his talents and become a force at the poker table.

You may catch a glimpse of her at the Bellagio, you will notice her on television and you may even participate against her in an online poker match, but don't expect an easy win. Except of course you are a champion-in-the-making, you won't defeat her. However, it'd be exciting to mention you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
