Anyone who played at least three days with her in a cash game in the old days knows exactly what she is. At least if you are halfway sharp. People can defend her, and yes there a lot bigger thieves and cheats around, but most of the really good cheats have a veneer of charm and likeability. She has almost none. I have never known anyone who liked her, except for her little New York crew that was around her brother. So basically Howard, Z, david, Seidel, Boston, and that's just about it, and deep down they know she is a gash too.

I have that in common with her. I'm a rather famous machine pro in my niche of gambling. I went from homeless drifter status to professional gambler staus overnight. No in between. No 9 to 5 bull****. I never compromised with society. I had $20 and change in my pocket 20 years ago when I put my first low roller advantage play down. The best machine pros on the planet have complimented this former freight tramp over and over again for my knowledge and skill in the games. I love rags to riches stories like Annie's. Because thats the same thing I am.

Can't really blame you for sticking up for someone you know, but come on, rags to riches, really?

more like a spoilt brat, who would treat people like dirt who she deemed beneath her. which from what I remember is how it all started with D N, treating him like a nobody cause he was new on the scene. then when he blew up she all of a sudden wants to be friends, terrible trait to have.

So, hands up if you'd describe Howard Lederer as a tough son of bitch

put tough in bold to avoid confusion

DN obviously had ulterior motives for his relentless attacks on Annie. There was no feud between them. It was all one sided. Except for a couple of paragraphs in her AB she never responded to the attacks. If DN would have publicly attacked one of my sisters like that I guarantee you the boy would have to fade a viscious whipping by me. Howard is spineless for letting his sister get attacked like that and not kicking off in DN's ass.

Seems to me that Annie kept quiet because everything he said was more than likely true.

Not! I'm my own man. The easy thing for me to do is jump on the Annie hater bandwagon. I have to tell you something, folks. I"ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. I learned from them. I'm not so highly critical of others who have made mistakes. Its a train riders mentality. There but the grace of God go I. I have the capacity to forgive people for their transgtessions. If you can find the way to do the same it would make life much easier on you. Hating absorbs to much of your energy. Let it go.

Their father taught English at St. Pauls school in New Hampshire, maybe a top 5 prep school. He was also an author and appeared on national TV.

Around 2001,2000 Annie and Daniel were both sort of new on scene. Annie was part of the Lederer click and gave Daniel ****. I think that's reason why Daniel was never a fan of those guys.

Sonnyboy, you are talking to the number one machine pro on the planet earth. Just because you dont have the capacity doesn't mean that everyone else doesn't. Eat my dust, sir.

If you had to read Annie's book to troll people on the internet then it would be even worse. It would take a seriously deranged person to wanna read her pile of **** book in the first place.

This trolling is laughably bad.

Good trolling has to get people angry, not make them laugh.

I'm guessing freestreet is someone who once slept with Annie and is doing this troll as some sort of exorcism, or something like that. Ben Affleck?

If it's not Annie they definitely have an unhealthy attachment to her and want to put various parts of their body inside her vagina, I don't think it's past tense at all

Seems middling here, anyway.

Actually "middling" would be someone who has entered multiple WSOP events each year for the last 10 years and has about 10 cashes for a total of $20,000. She has 1 bracelet, 38 cashes, and winnings of $1,141,567.

And the population you used for your 10 cashes in 10 years example is 95% amateurs, obv.

My original point was that her career is pretty good compared to most who have commented here. To anyone who has responded negatively about Duke AND has career WSOP winnings of at least $100,000, I sincerely apologize.

The same could be said for Russ Hamilton, and a couple of people with some criminal indictments in their backgrounds.
