Re: Who Are The Most Overrated Poker Players? (and Why?)
Duke has a track record that 95% of the people on this board would be proud of. The problems with her are that she is irritating and she promotes herself as the most successful female tournament player of all time. Which is true when you look at cash earnings however -- she won a WSOP ToC which was a SnG (reportedly chopped but I won't go there) which pushed her over Jen Harman as the most successful.
The feminist in Annie hates having women singled out yet she is the first to point out her achievements as they relate to other women. That is why many have a clouded view of her true accomplishments and thus claim she is over rated.
The truly over rated are the Evelyn Ng's of the world. Those who have accomplished little, if anything, and get mileage because of their looks and/or personality. Robert Williamson III is one I lump in with this group. His last win was a table on Poker Royale, Comedians vs. Pros. Before that it was a $200 Omaha tournament at the Orleans. Seems like a nice enough guy, but definitely over rated.
