Annie Duke, one of the winningest female poker players of all time, can now be found here as the newest member of the PokerRoad family, where she'll not only be sharing her voracious twitter addiction with the PokerRoad faithful in our TWEETSFROMTHEROAD section, but also her fascinating blog, that shares what it's like to try to juggle celebrity, a poker career, and the never ending demands of being a regular, hardworking mom.

Having Annie Duke join the family, is quite the coup for PokerRoad.  Not only is Annie currently one of the most recognizable poker players on the planet, thanks to her recent long run on NBC's The Celebrity Apprentice, she also stands out amongst her poker peers as one of the most generous and charitable players on the tour (not an easy feat given the highly charitable nature of the average professional player).  Chief among Annie's charitable accomplishments is her work with Ante Up For Africa, a non-profit organization she co-founded with Norman Epstein and Don Cheadle, that aims to raise money and awareness for Africans in need through a series of exciting, open, celebrity poker tournaments.
