Annie Duke

Annie Duke is an American former professional poker player who now writes about decision-making. She won a World Series of Poker gold bracelet in 2004, and her poker books include Decide to Play Great Poker, The Middle Zone, and the 2005 memoir How I Raised, Folded, Bluffed, Flirted, Cursed, and Won Millions at the World Series of Poker. Her later books, Thinking in Bets, How to Decide, and Quit, turn that experience toward everyday choices and the role of luck and uncertainty in them. In 2007 she co-founded the charity Ante Up for Africa with Don Cheadle.
