Though she considers her former husband a wonderful father, the two were incompatible, she said: "He's kind of a square. He listens to the opera all day, and I listen to the White Stripes

Ah yes, who could live with an opera listener.

One challenge she has faced in the game is meeting her brother as a competitor. At the Tournament of Champions in 2004, "I wanted to knock Howard out with every molecule of my being," Ms. Duke said. "As soon as the hand was over, I thought, 'Oh, no, I knocked my brother out.' "

She was so upset that ESPN, which tapes the event, had to shut down filming for 15 minutes.

And here I've been playing in these damn low stakes amateur tourneys where if you get upset and can't continue they just blind you off till you pull yourself together. Obviously there is something wrong with our format...
