Do you think Annie Duke has some sort of reverse advantage by being a woman? What I mean is, most men poker players think women can't play. So men would be more willing to stay in pots just because they think she doesn't know what she is doing. Granted by now she has a reputation, but even last year during the Tournament of Champions Hellmuth gave her no respect. By the way, I would have her on my list of people I would like to meet, her and her brother are two of my favorites.
I think Annie Duke is at a great advantage, maybe partially because she's a woman, but also because of her background in psychology. She's also been playing this game for many, many years, and for a woman with several small children, she has nerves of steel. Her performance at the tournament of champions is what made her my hero. When she and Phil Hellmuth were heads-up, he folded a pair of kings into her nines and kings. He had made the right decision, but she only showed him her nine after he mucked his hand. He made the mistake of letting his guard down, assuming she had made a bad play. Of course, she ripped him a new one and sent him crying home to his mommy. I don't feel sorry for him at all. The guy is an egotistical dousche.
Yeah, I think Hellmuth is a complete douche. I agree totally that her psychology background helps emmensely. Plus Howard isn't such a bad guy to have as your tutor starting out. She is definately one of my favorites and when she put Phil on tilt and kicked his ass I became an even bigger fan.
mr show and futurama, yea!
