Annie is articulate and attractive which make her a natural for television. Annie plays all of the limit games well. She worked hard on her game when she was an up-and-coming player and is one of the top two all-around female poker players, Jennifer Harman being the other. As of late, most of Annie's time is dedicated to being a mother, working for Ultimate Bet, and tending to activities related to her role in the explosion of poker.
Amusing anecdote:
Annie used to make a habit of sitting behind the better players and watching them for an hour or so. Annie sat behind me one time and I was unaccustomed to anyone watching the way I played. I didn't say anything because Annie had always been very nice to me and she was a relative beginner at that point anyway.
After thirty minutes or so Annie said, “I'm sorry, but I can't sit behind you anymore. The other players have complained privately to me that you play better when I'm watching you.”
