I think Annie is great. She has come a long ways and has reinvented herself. I’m happy for her success. She was smart enough to ride the “crest of this new poker wave.” Good for her.

The negative talk about Annie sounds like sour grapes and some folks that are clearly, jealous.

My advice for Annie. You go girl!

From everything I read and hear about her, she will only use the fact that she stopped smoking/caffeinating and started running to put everybody around her down and make her feel superior, as usual. She might be a lovely person, but it’s just too hard to believe. Be as opinionated as you want, but try to be nice. Not so hard.

Great interview, Jen. Way to bring out AD’s feisty intellect.

And regardless of my feelings about Annie Duke’s view on ladies-only events, I’m impressed that she traded smoking and caffeine for running. She’ll see improvements in all aspects of her life.

I’ve run the San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon, and I had a great time even though my time wasn’t great. I still prefer the Mickey Mouse Marathon down in Orlando at Walt Disney World though — a very flat course, mild temperatures, and you get to run through the theme parks.

I still think she comes down way too hard on Ladies events. But we can talk about that at Commerce, right?

And why is a ladies-only event evil, but a ladies-only training seminar is okay?

Too bad her propensity to cheat* at every opportunity ruins her credibility in any form.
