ksean9999 0 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 do you realize that if annie duke makes the final table, she will be universally recognized as the world's top female poker player - and we'll never hear the end of it. Link to post Share on other sites

ksean9999 0 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 i guess if she wins, she would be the best female player anyway, whether we like her or not Link to post Share on other sites
vikingsfan879 0 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 She is nowhere close to the best female player whether she wins or not. Jennifer Harman is by far the best female and one of the top players male or female. Link to post Share on other sites
Hyaku-Shiki 0 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 We all know the best female player is Tiffany Williamson.EDIT: If you didn't already guess: (sw) Link to post Share on other sites

She went very deep in last year's WSOP, and ESPN acted like it was all luck or something. She made huge laydowns (getting away from the QJ against Sheikan's AA, even though it was suited) and suffered horrible luck (running A8 into Raymer's KK and failing to spike even one of the 2 aces still in the deck), but still almost made the final table. Yet no one recognized her as the best female player in the world. I'm sure Tiffany could get away from Queens full when the river made a straight flush possible, too.

Jennifer Harman is by far the best female and one of the top players male or female.Harman is weak-tight compared to Duke. I'm not saying that Harman is a bad player, she's a great LHE player. But Duke is a better NLHE tournament player, imho. Link to post Share on other sites

Kuge 0 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 i could not agree more with this statement. i was going to make it if not written already.wow, she laid down QJ SUITED. wow. get her a trophy.Actually it was KJ suited, but nonetheless, it was a supurb laydown in which it took 14 minutes to decide. Even though she cussed like she should've called, it was all an act because she knew it was a world class laydown. Link to post Share on other sites

This is a very marginal hand, especially when she was facing an allin. Link to post Share on other sites

Kid DynOmite 0 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Duke's a very good player. She's a legitimate pro. If you don't want her to win, then I have two words for you: Allen Cunningham. or prahlad friedman. or jeffery lisandro. Lisandro is a beast. He's my pick.I'll cheer for Duke later on though in the name of a player i've heard of winning the ME Sit Annie Duke down in the Big Game at Bellagio/Venetian and come tell us what happens.Who are you refuting?
