Description

Annie Lederer grew up in a card-playing family whose dual mantra was "education is everything" and "Win at all costs". So at twenty-six, when the Columbia alum suddenly developed a panic disorder just prior to completing her doctoral studies at the University of Pennsylvania, she freaked, and fled to Columbus, Montana (population: 1,500), where she married Ben Duke, a guy she'd never dated. Months later, bored and unable to make the $125 mortgage payment on their four-hundred-square-foot shack, Annie, on a lark, utter the words that would forever alter the course of her life:

"Hey, let's go play some poker."

Part poker strategy, part autobiography, Annie Duke provides a fascinating inside account of the World Series of Poker and tells the riveting tale of Duke's unlikely rise to poker's inner circle. Highlighting strategic tops and keen hand-by-hand analysis that will appeal to both the skilled player and the reader newly intrigued by the game, Annie Duke shares a unique table-side view of a game that's fast evolved into a subculture.
