hey everyone im going to tell you something many dont know. There will be a new book coming out by an old friend/relative of annie's. Its tittle will be something like lap dance or backseat annie. That im not sure of,but it goes on to talk about the tough start and humble beginnings of annie. from what i can understand she and howard earned their money from many failures and rough beginnings. Even Annie will be shocked by this book.

okay...this chick needs to realize that she's got the prettiest poker face in the industry. After she realizes that she should then market that face to the country and help urge millions more to play poker, ultimatebet.com needs to put her face on everything they can. Poker is definately a fad right now on college campuses like my own, people like us would love to see more annie duke. What a hot name!

I think Annie is incredibly cute and talented. I think she is devoted to her family and her job as a premier poker player. And her perched upon the chair barefoot is always a treat. I have been fortunate to be able to converse with her on Ultiamte Bet and she always seems willing to talk to those at the table.

Anyone who has been talking shit about Annie is jealous and has issues and really needs to get a life. Tontos way

annie is a just a personwho plays poker. anyone who spreads lies or stories is ignorant. why not take shots at GW instead

Yeah seriously. I have always been a great fan of annie and i am proud of her for how far she has made it

One of the best players in the world.. (BAR NONE). Have known Annie for a few years now and have watched her play great poker and seen her grow into a star in the poker world. I have been with her at different places and see how she has never turned down anyone for an autograph. Not only does she sign she will answer questions and is so polite to the people. She is an amazing person and I just don't see how anyone could write a bad word about her if they have spent anytime with her. Annie is a wonderful person as well as a great mother. It's time for all of you to show a little respect to one of the nicest people in poker. I am fell lucky to call her a friend.

Of all the poker players out there, Annie is my least favorite. A snotty, self righteous, stuck up bitch. No class whatsoever, she puts her stinking barefeet on the table on a regular basis. I've seen her do this and I've seen other players reactions. James McManus writes about her in "Positively Fifth Street". He said in a tournament someone went all in on Annie and she folded. She then reached for the other guys cards and looked at them, saying "just checking". you have to pay to see. The icing on the cake was when she started crying over her misread in the 2004 WSOP main event. What a sorry loser.

what the fuck are you talking about. annie duke is the nicest person you could ever meet. she is a great poker player and a great mom. don't you people have anything better to do than to talk shit about her. besides how could you know unless you sat down and talked with her. she is the sweetest person you could ever meet.

Congrats to Annie on the Omaha win. Best of Luck to you. Kick some more ass next year!!!!

Hey PokrStudent, i am glad that you are one of the few who is actually congratulating Annie on her win

Great poker player and yes a MILF!!!

annie is a great player and great job in the omaha tourny, there will be more bracelets in her future

sorry tommy g whenever i come on here there are not a lot of people telling the truth about annie, and i do hope that she has much more success in the future

congrats Annie on your win! These women-hating, sore losing, talentless men are so annoying, way to show the world that us ladies can play too.

pokergal, do u play 2. annie hope to see you with more braclets soon

Annie is a great poker player, female or male, she is a pro, that omaha hi/low championship is no fluke. I guarntee you she'll win the main event soon. She is amazing, go Annie!!!!

Hi -- I do play but not professionally (at least not yet but it's my passion and a goal) i practice everyday to get better and consider myself a student... hopefully will get the honor to play along side the greats one day including ANNIE! :)In my smaller games, I have seen first hand how some men (not all) react to a woman in the game, after a great hand I've been called everything fron a "lucky c--t" to a total slut? Previously I had no idea that Pocket Aces or even a decent bluff could make someone either of those things but I guess that's part of it when you are a lady in poker :)Way to go Annie and best wishes!

I love Annie Duke! She is an inspiration to me... She played while being pregnant and tries very hard to be the best mom while playing poker. She is definitely a very nice person and most of you criticize her because you are jealous. She is amazing and one of my dreams is to meet her someday. As a person with Crohn's disease, you value every day to the fullest. You meet people who inspire you to be the best you can be. Annie is one of those people. I sincerely hope someone can help me contact her so I can fulfill my dream. Love to all!

Hey Pokergal.... sorry to hear you have been treated poorly. All of the people I play with in tourneys, live games and home games would never treat a woman like that. We are not all bad. You go girl and make your dream happen... it's my dream as well to win some major tourneys... I have made the final table in 5 tourneys so far and I have been playing for two years. Not big money yet but I keep on trying. Good luck to you and maybe we will meet at the final table.

that was funny when she kept bitchin about how that one dude did something wrong with his chips..I forget what but yea she acted like she just lost on some bs. and whats this deal with affleck, I mean I love that dude hes a great actor but just because she taught him how to play he's suddenly a "world class" player, haha

i think annie duke is so hot the way she plays barefoot with her foot propped up

thanks Stud -- Not all guys are like that, most are really cool. You can always tell the jerks from the class acts and that's in all walks of life, not just poker. See ya at the final table one day!Jen

Wow! Ms. Duke's page has by far more comments than any of the other players I have visited so far. What's interesting is the low level of comments made when the player HAPPENS to be female. What a perv and misogynistic way to look at life and the game we all love.

hey pokergal, i am also sorry to hear that you are being treated badly. i have also been called names for the way that i have been winning, i guess you are right it is because we are girls. Annie i hope that you keep up the good work

Just remember this about Ben Affleck.... He did win the Cal State Poker Championship this year.... not too shabby! And Jen... it's just a matter of time!

yo don't hate the player hate the game

Why all the excitement over Annie Duke? I sat with her head-up at Bellagio for only about an hour and a half and took $7000 from her. I mean, she looks great at the table, but she's just another player. Seriously. Play her some time.

whatever annie duke is a great player and you know it you are just jealous

solid player at omaha but i've never seen her solid hold'em play. best female player on the circuit.

OVERRATED. Harmon is a much better female player.

Hey Annie:i Love A Woman That Is Happy To Be A Milf....drop Me An Email And Any Chance You Doing Playboy?vg

she plays well but looks ridiculous with her feet proped up at the poker table listening to those damn headphones.

You rock, girl! congrats on your win against phil helmuth. AWESOME play, gutsy moves and a truly exciting match. nothing was more satisfying than seeing you outplay Helmuth! The trip threes with the jack kicker (to Phil's trip threes with q kicker) was a little bit harsh but you recovered nicely. Loved when you had K - 9, flopped two pair, and then only showed Phil the nine to f*ck with his head. hehe. Nicely done.

Eh, Helmuth is great though. He's a real jerk on the table, but Annie Duke got really lucky in the heads up play. I mean, there's only so many times you can both flop top pair at once. I mean, K7 vs K9, Phil made an excellent laydown, and even after she showed the nine, he said, "I had a feeling you flopped two pair". So, I mean, hands where you both have tens, and the flop is 10 x x, eventually one person is going to go all in and the higher kicker is going to prevail. So kudos to her for playing well, but I think luck was on her side, big time. That being said, I thought it was GREAT when she started crying after she flopped the set against her brother. There should be more of that at the poker table; people realizing they _shouldn't_ have won the hand, they they made a _terrible_ call, and they got unbelievably lucky. I mean, even on the turn and river, Howard was still drawing to four cards. But yeah, I thought she was great about administering the bad beat - and she didn't brag about it, or dance around the table.

i agree nonplussed -- with both sentiments about Helmuth and with the fact that Annie had luck on her side -- no doubt. Phil did make the good laydown. It could've been an entire different game, however, if Phil wasn't so afraid to play his A-Q against Johnny Chan earlier in the tourney, but ya never know. Annie did have luck but I've never seen anyone win without luck. Raymer had a ton of lucky moments to win the WSOP as did Moneymakes last year. I think it's how it goes but it's how you play it when you get those lucky runs that matter. I agree, the heartfelt emotion shown when she won with inferior cards was appreciated. Personally I thought it was one of the more interesting tourneys I've seen.

Go Annie! she made my day! watching her beat phil hellmuth!! happiest moment of my life!! well not quite, but still!!! sure she got lucky! but in the end, luck is party of poker. moneymaker, good player, but got tonnes of luck. raymer, great player, but got lucky (i.e his 10's vs mcclains aces) so yeh, annie got a bit lucky @ times, but she made the most of it when she was lucky and made the most of it when she got good hands! and thats what makes a great poker player! it was fantastic to see a girl win that table! especially one with the class and skill of annie duke. and as for phil hellmuth, he was once a great player, but that one victory in the main event, went to his head, and has never left his head! every table he sits at, he thinks he is the greatest player on the table, and its just not true. poker is a game of skill and luck, and phil hellmuth forgets that! he things because he is midly skillful he deserved to win everything!! NOT TRUE!!! he is a jerk, a whinging crybaby and all around arrogant prick! it was so satisfying to see him fall hard on his arse! good work annie!!!
