Does anyone else hate Annie Duke?
 

I never liked her to begin with and then I read what Daniel N had to say about her. I think she is a no talent hoe , TOC she got extremely lucky!

What did Daniel say about her?

It's a good read about little Annie.

Wow!!!
 

WOW!!,

I did not expect that out of Daniel. I do like Annie, but maybe I would change my mind if I would see those things. Although, I do believe she is a good player.

wow i had no idea she was like that... I'll take Daniel's word for it though

-jB

Yeah I think that Daniel is a reliable source since he has nothing to gain by bad mouthing her.

i notice that post is from 2003.... during the TOC Daniel was friendly with her, maybe they settled their differences?

Thanks for the link. Good read.

Annie and Daniel were on last week's WPT Poker Corner (with Hellmuth). Maybe they have put their differences behind them... or maybe they just play nice on tv.

Come to think of it, Daniel DID disagree with Annie a few times rather adamantly.

I didn't click the link, but I'm pretty sure I know which article you are referring to.

My main issue with that article is credibility. Can we be sure Daniel wrote that? It's something from RGP, which is automatically suspect.

Seems like a good player, and she did well (very lucky) in the TOC. That being said, she can be a little overbearing even to watch on TV! I think her attitude is so blatant because she's making her living in a world dominated by men.

Could be wrong.

He posts on RGP often , moreso then any other pro that I know of. If it was false I'm sure he would have said something about it.

You can dislike someone straight off the bat without them giving you a reason to dislike them? Wow, you sound like a really great person.

Myself, personally, I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt - i.e. I'll like anyone until they give me a reason to dislike them - like you have.

I called you an idiot in another thread because all the evidence pointed in that direction - what evidence do you have that Ms. Duke is a "hoe"?

On a further note, wouldn't it just ANNOY the crap out of you to know that "a no talent hoe" is richer than you could possibly hope to be? Man, life is so not fair.

Ah, Charles the resident flamer. I have played against Annie and she is very over rated, she uses the fact the she is an annoying bitch to her advantage to get other players gunning for her. Good stradegy right, well it works. And for being a "hoe" you don't get four children without taking a fair amount of....

Oh, yeah and if my older brother was Howard Leder and he tutored me and bankrolled me I should expect to win some too. It goes to so howard's skill as a teacher more than annies talent.

Well, he USED to post on RGP often.

If it was false, he might not have replied. He might have thought it was funny. Hah.

I agree w/ you here - Howard is a great player.

And yes, she does have skill... although we can safely agree she can be annoying?

I wonder what the chances are of us getting Daniel to become a regular here. Me thinks pretty slim...

Why don't you email him and ask him to join?

Sorry to jump in late here, but I've read that article off of another site (not rgp) so if it is fake, well, it spread fast. If those stories are true, then she really is a bitch..

It's true she's a bitch!

It could possibly be true. I just don't believe everything I read when it comes to online message boards and newsgroups. I guess that's the way I am.

Like I said, if it's true, then she definitely has some issues - especially with her looking at hole cards ... what's that all about?

Oh - and Jackass... you don't have to reply w/ another one-liner about how you hate annie duke again. We get the point.

Ok I won't but thats the point of this thread to bash that bitch Annie!

In Jim McManus's book Positively Fifth Street, he talks about one of the instances Daniel did, the one where during a one table satelitte, Annie looked through the muck to see if Tony Ma actually had pocket Aces.

In fact, Jim Mcmanus was also the guy who made the string bet that "was the worst thing that has ever happened" to Annie. He quoted her exactly the same as Daniel did.

Fantastic book
 

Likely you all have read it already, but if you haven't go out and purchase Positively Fifth Street pronto. In addition to being a great poker book, it is a fascinating take on the Binion family/trial.

I enjoyed it.... didn't read it until AFTER I had knoked McManus out of this year's Media/Celebrity event at the WSOP (with a higher straight) :D

Poker books:

True, he has some of the most imformative posts I have seen at RGP (and as far as I know he has never begged for $5.50 for a single at party). He needs to be extended a formal invite to start postng here too. :)

Oh, and as fara as A.D. is concerned, she plays very well, especially with all of the pressure the poker TV boom has put on her as the representative of women in poker.

Especially liked ESPN spending equal time between coverage of the entire ladies event and coverage of Annie's win in Omaha event. ;)

She seems ok from what events I have seen her on TV. She don't act like a brat or do anything to make you hate her, unlike alot of other players out there.

She certainly aint crap at poker. You don't win a WSOP bracelet without knowing your cards.

i think that daniel confirmed that it was in fact him that made those posts, and since then he has backed off them a bit.

i do get annoyed sometimes at annie duke, but not for any really signifcant reasons. i guess she just seems a little to righteous to me, as if she has to be the table captain in all situations.

i would agree that she is a good player, but that howard got the lions share of the talent in that family.

good point

she was on a letterman rerun last night from september and looked like she was all coked up. but ya know what? i'd do her

No, she is nasty, period. But I've sen her on tv and she always has looked like she was not all there.

Probably from all the blow she has been doing!

Maybe thats why she's always wearing long sleeve shirts - to hide the needle marks.

isnt the blow part of the whole top poker pro thing? can you even be recognized as a top pro if you dont have some significant cash leak in your game?

Doyle-golf
TJ-craps
Ungar-blow/craps

i believe that this list goes on for a while

:rolleyes:
Everyone has to have some knid of hobby, or else why play poker?

I find it funny she has busted her brother out of 4 WSOP events.

Not that I needed added information to trust Daniel on this, but yeah :)

Defendant

hahah now that you mention it she did look pretty drugged up in the main event this year

Im not quite a fan of hers after reading about Daniel and watching her interview with gunshot after busting out in the WSOP. Shes a poser.

^lol I saw that interview on that online poker show. pathetic.

Ahh you have same Birthday as me! nothing to do with the thread but still :)

I can take or leave Annie Duke, but I do like the fact that Daniel isn't afraid to tell it like it is, just one more reason to root for him.

I believe the heat between Annie and Daniel was real. Howard Ledered wrote this "Open Letter" to Daniel a while ago:



My instinct tells me there must have been a burying of the hatchett, so to speak, given them being on talking terms in various telecasts lately.

this is late
 

but just because you have 4 kids dosent make you a hoe!!!!!!!! my mother in law had 5 kids and she is far from a hoe so watch your mouth before you start making stupid comments!!

Hey Guys,

I kept trying this link to the Daniel N post, but it wouldn't work.

Could someone perhaps email it to me? or post it on here? PM me if you're willing.

Cheers,

Gutzz

PS. I also find Annie to be quite annoying. I think it has to do with all her 'I'm such a girl.' comments. She uses every fricken opportunity to say it.

5th street was a great read. Also 'Big Deal' was pretty good. Annie is slowly going downhill on my list, but I also like to give people the benefit of the doubt. So I'll wait to see how she treats me when we play together in the WSOP! But seriously.
I dont actually think it would be that difficult to get Daniel to post here. He SEEMS like he would be into a poker forum where people actually talk about, yup, poker. A novel concept. He does have a site, fullcontactpoker.com, you could probably contact him thru there. Also, TP if you play in the celebrity media event in WSOP, I'm sure you could get in touch with him somehow. If you could get him to post here even periodically, this site would go nuts. Then there would be TP.com shirts everywhere. lol...
