Mrs. Duke might not have earned her first WSOP Bracelet until two thousand and four but she remains one of the most feared poker competitors around the live action matches at The Bellagio in sin city. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker bracelet came with success at the "buried game" of Omaha high-low.

While players from the "younger crowd" of poker go wild after a large win at the tables, Annie goes home and becomes "mom" to her four kids. Annie grew up in New Hampshire into a family of poker competitors. If you don’t accept that, watch 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 hard tables, which includes knocking out Howard a few times along the way. They are both players that have the ability to capture the huge bucks and do so with a grin.

Annie Duke is a tough player at any poker table considering that she is a natural poker player, but it is a little more than just being good at the game. Mrs. Duke is very intelligent and graduated from Columbia U where she double majored in English and Psychology.

When you sit across from Annie at the poker table you know Annie is there to compete in the game and she begins "summing" you up from the time you join the table. If you can’t gamble like a winner, then do not bother.

Winning over 3 million dollars in tournament play, Annie Duke branched out to become a adviser to both UltimateBet.com and Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, who aspired to enhance his talents and develop into a force at the tables.

You might just catch a glimpse of her at the Bellagio, you will see Annie on TV and you may even play against her in an online poker game, but do not anticipate a simple win. Except of course you’re a camp-in-the-making, you will not defeat her. Although, it’d be exciting to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
