Mrs. Duke might not have won her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until 2004 but she is one of the most powerful poker competitors around the live action matches at The Bellagio in sin city. Annie's longawaited WSOP bracelet came with a win at the "cast aside game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.

While players from the "younger crowd" of poker go crazy after a big win at the tables, Annie goes back home to be "mom" to her 4 children. Annie grew up in New Hampshire into a family of card players. If you don't believe that, check out her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who educated her how to play the game.

However, Mrs. Duke is no small-potatoes girl and has succeeded at her cut of difficult tables, which includes eliminating Howard along the way on several occasions. They are both competitors that have the skill to win the big money and do it with a smile.

Mrs. Duke is a strong player at any poker table because she is a natural poker player, but it is a little more than simply being good at the game. Annie is extremely smart and graduated from Columbia University where she double majored in English and Psychology.

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

Acquiring over 3 million dollars in tournament play, Annie Duke became a consultant to both the UltimateBet poker room and actor Ben Affleck, who wanted to hone his talents and become a power at the poker table.

You might just see her at the Bellagio, you'll definitely see Annie on television and you might even compete against her in a web-based poker game, but do not anticipate an easy win. Except of course you're a champion-in-the-making, you'll not defeat her. However, it'd be fun to say you sat at the same table as "The Duke".
