Annie Duke. Professional Poker Player

Hey Joan Ain’t Video a Bitch?


Well, apparently Joan Rivers had no idea how many poker players there are on this planet. Or, more likely, maybe she just thought we all play in backrooms like the white trash we are afraid to admit to anyone that we are poker players. Well, too bad for her, we are all out of the closet on that one. So, I guess maybe she must be getting some heat for her tirade against my profession the other night on The Celebrity Apprentice. She twittered today:

Poker players calm down! I was referring to one poker player as white trash, not all of them. So everybody in the poker world…CALM DOWN!

Really Joan? I think we all know that you weren’t referring to just me because it was on camera. In case anyone has any doubts about what a wide net she cast over anyone who has ever picked up a deck of cards, I refer you to the video:

    You broke a cardinal rule. Never get between a mother and daughter. If you would have spent time building a bridge between them instead of a wedge, You would have won.

  2. Sarah says:

    I could not believe that Joan kept cutting you off last night and got away with it. What a disappointment the finale was. Joan was rude, belligerent and crass.Donald Trump lost control of her and her mouth but he still picked her. I think you should have won and he picked Joan out of “charity” because she’s a washed up old comedien with foul mouth and a daughter that is just as unattractive as she is.
    I was not a fan of yours through out the season but at least you had some class in the boardroom and during the show. Something that Joan Rivers obviously does not have at all. You got screwed and I’m sure you didn’t enjoy it. Shame on Joan Rivers and Donald Trump.

    I personally think Annie represented poker players quite well. If they are white trash I would never know it. I’ve never really played before but I like games and it looks like fun to me.

  4. Patty says:

    C’mon Annie, rise above it and get over it already.
    The best thing to do right now is to hold your head high and stop talking about it. Sometimes saying nothing……well, less is more.
    You know Joan and Melissa are having fun watching you spin. Silence is golden. Stay classy Annie!

    The winner won. You played it terribly. I didn’t realize I liked Joan so much until this show aired. Annie, please get some people skills.

  9. Valerie says:

    Annie, My husband and I were shocked when you did not win Celebrity Apprentice. I said that if you did not win, I would never watch the show again. I will not. That show had to be fixed to have the outcome that it did. As others stated, the Rivers girls were anything but ladies. I was shocked at their behavior and comments they made. I will never watch anything that has either of them acting in it. You on the other hand, I would watch. You held your temper far better than I would have been able to under the same circumstances. You were pushed to the edge, before you said anything negative about either of them. I look forward to watching you play cards in the future.

  10. michaelp says:

    I really enjoyed last night’s final show, but Trump got confused. He pick Joan because she is the “Biggest Loser”. She is such a Nazi comb-over or at least she was 3 facelifts ago.

  11. robert says:

    LOOKS LIKE YOU POKER PLAYERS GOT BITCH SLAPPED BY A COMEDIAN.

    Well deserved!!!

    You guys are losers!!!

  12. YVONNE says:

    ANNIE : YOU WERE ROBBED.THE ONLY REASON JOAN WON IS BECAUSE SHES A FRIEND OF DONALD TRUMPS.SHES NO ROLL MODEL,JUST A OLD HAS BEEN ,WITH TOO MANY FACE LIFTS,AND A MINNI ME DAUGHTER

  13. zephar says:

    Just, want you to know, annie, I think you should of won. I have watch all the apprentice. I was screaming at tv cursing all over the place like a Mad man. It really angered me that Joan lied like that about getting the decorator to quit. Yet, they don’t call her on that lie and give her the show. You clearly won. You so clearly one it was disgusting. Not only will I not watch the apprentice again, but Jone rivers and Donald Trump have ruined there reputations with me and I will not buy anything with there name on it.

    I am not much of a card player myself I am more of a computer gamer, but I understand games =).

    Any ways take care.

  14. Ted Bergunson says:

    Somebody is a bitch, and it isn’t Joan. Looks like somebody let a 75 year old get under her skin. Joan really kicked your ass. Way to celebrate when you got fired. I didn’t think people could get that happy over being fired.

  15. Bubba Joe says:

    Look at all these Annie ass kissers here, it’s hilarious. No surprise since Hitler had supporters too.

    Joan will rock your ass any day.

  16. drew says:

    Annie,
    I am not a poker player but Have a Ton more respect for Annie than I do for the Crazy Plastic faced Rivers duo! They are the ones that acted like “white Trash” Jerry Springer Crack-hoes!

    Annie You got robbed by a Dude with no ballz! Donalds daughter has a bigger set of nads than Dad. I will no longer watch that stupid show after you wiped the floor all season with everyone you faced and then got Hosed at the end!

  17. Brad Pelt says:

    You are trash…
    and the best “Lady” one..
    not the best “girl”!!

    Loves Joan.. and glad she kicked your butt!!

  18. Matt Zolo says:

    I didn’t like Joan before the show started and I was rooting against her. You showed yourself to be a crazy bitch and I ended up rooting for her.
    Damn you are self-important! Me, me, me, I, I, I.
    Who likes people like that?

  19. Michaelmas says:

    Get over it Annie. You lost. The fact that you are still harping about it speaks volumes. Shut up and go back to your stupid cards.

  20. John says:

    Are you a sore loser Annie?

  21. Zook2469 says:

    It’s amazing that some people on here are saying that Annie has no class.And Joan and Melissa is full of class. Really. Joan calls Annie beyond white trash because she is a poker player. She refers to her as a Nazi and worse than Hitler. Yeah, she’s really classy. Melissa is worse than than her mother, foul mouthed and childish. Annie never said one thing bad personally about Joan or her daughter. The only reason that pathetic old bag won because Donald had sympathy for her. She may have won the game, but she is a total loser! Great job Annie. Joan and Melissa together could not raise as much money as you did. That’s what the game was about.

  22. Michele P. says:

    Wow! Some of these last bloggers….they must be related to Joan and Melissa. ;-) Talk about white trash bloggers who can’t put together a coherent posting where words are spelled correctly, and sentences make sense. Obviously they have nothing better to do. Again Annie, you did a great job!

  23. Cindy says:

    Trying to malign Joan about her age is ridiculous as some of your bloggers seem to do. Joan may be 75 but she’s got a lot more energy and stamina than others half her age. Joan has been around a lot longer than you Annie. But, that will depend on how long you will keep harping on the fact that you lost. Good luck and I hope you get all the publicity you seem to need. I think you will be remembered as the sore loser who couldn’t let it go. Give it up, you played a good game and lost, move on!!

  24. John says:

    Joan and Melissa are two of the most disgusting bitches in the world. They have showed the world their true colors. It is really sad to see people so stuck in their own dillusional worlds, I feel bad for them. How humiliating for their family…

  25. DJ Anderson says:

    Joan is a hateful person. So is her daughter! It was a set-up from the start: http://glwd.org/about_directors.html

  26. xoxo says:

    Annie,
    You keep coming off as a sore loser.
    Learn to lose graciously and hold your tongue.
    A good poker player would know this.

  27. Liz says:

    The best “woman” won. You could have won but your constant need to glorify yourself did you in. Only girls play the “look at me” game.

  28. DJ Anderson says:

    To xoxo and Liz: I could only imagine if Annie had won. Joan would have stormed off the set calling Annie every nasty thing in the book, just like her ugly spiteful daughter did when she got the boot.

    But what was pre-determined from the start was the conflict-of-interest with Blaine Trump as sitting Vice Chair of Joan’s Charity: http://glwd.org/about_directors.html

    It was obvious that Joan would win as she got away with more than any reasonable person could considering her hateful and disgusting references to Hitler, Mussolini, and the like. As Piers changed his tune toward Joan and as Donnie changed the criteria, it was only to oust Annie! Joan lied about the event planner. Donnie let her run her foul mouth without consequence. Joan was a quitter and allowed to come back! Trump is the biggest loser here for leading ppl to believe that the best person won.

  29. Katpants says:

    Glad you lost. You really are a sore looser and can do nothing but talk about how Joan wronged you. People get tired of hearing about it. Grow up and move on. I never really liked Joan much until I sawling heartless robot you are. The mistake you made is playing people and they saw through your lies. I thought the show was celebrity apprentice but you are no celebrity. There is more to life than the money your skeezy profession brings in. Get a real job.

  30. Jimmeny Christmas says:

    If that witch, Joan would have called me anything close to Hitler it would have been lights out for the surgery Queen.

    Joan – kiss my rosey red cheeks!

  31. Jack Smith says:

    Except for the fact Annie was robed ..I glad the showed turned out like it did.I showed people when it gets to cetain levels its more who you know not what you know or do..Besides it showed to the world what a real low life scag bitch Joan is,,,

  32. Mad Marti says:

    By now- everyone knows the real reason that Joan won. Donald Trump’s SIL is on the board of the directors of the charity Joan was playing for.

    I will never watch The Celebrity Apprentice again.

    For Donald to sit back and allow people who are suppose to represent him slander others by calling them ‘whores’ and ‘Nazi’s’ is beyond anything I have ever encounter in a professional setting.

    It’s obvious that the shit apple (Melissa) did fall far from the shit tree (Joan).
    The behavior of both of them is absolutely disgraceful.

    While you might be a task master and abrupt, it can not even begin to compare to the Disgusting Duo of Joan and Melissa Rivers.

    I hope Joan is black listed in Vegas and everywhere else for that matter.

  33. Fahd says:

    The way you played the game = Brilliant! I could go so far as to say that you could have been on the non-celebrity version and won.

    The Rivers are total bitches. Like mother like daughter. Uggghh, every time Melissa opened her mouth to the camera and talked some shit about others in her team and bla bla bla, I wanted reach in and strangle her. The mother was the same.

    I used to be a big fan of The Apprentice and Mr. Trump, but now they’re doing stuff solely for the high ratings, and the “you’re fired” doesn’t mean shit anymore.

    Fuck Joan Rivers, fuck Melissa Rivers, and FUCK Donalt Trump. I’m gonna go burn his books right now.

  34. I really enjoyed your site. It’s nice when you find something that is not only informative but entertaining. Excellent!

  35. Grant says:

    Just finished watching your season last night.. my god Joan infuriated me!! I was so frustrated at the end when she kept denying that the dude was fired cos of her, and it some ways I wanted you to lose it and shout back at her.. put her in her place I guess. But Trump was totally partial to her and didn’t comment and view things fairly. It’s the first time I’ve seen him be like that, and it wasn’t fair at all. She shouldn’t have even been in the final ffs. Her behaviour was disgusting, as was that of her little snot nosed spoilt brat daughter too. What a pathetic character she is. Spoilt spoilt spoilt.

    Anyway, you’re a tough cookie, and you weren’t squeaky clean yourself, but you totally deserved to win it, so the ending to the show was a real disappointment for me.

    I think in some ways Trump realised that a brit winning the show the year before wasn’t great, and this time around felt that Joan Rivers winning his show would be good publicity. blah.

    Take care

  36. Alan says:

    Really? Okay Annie, with all my due respect you need to learn to write and speak the English Language properly before anything else.

    “Really Joan? I think we all know that you weren’t referring to just me because it was on camera”

    That is an incoherent sentence, because you didn’t put a comma before “because.” Also on other sentences you engendered, you failed to follow the rules of “FANBOYS.” (You always put a comma before “for” “and” “nor” ‘but” “or” “yet” and “so.”

    Then on that same sentence you said “you weren’t referring to just me.”

    That’s incoherent, because you’re supposed to say “you weren’t only referring to me.”

    And you say “I was acting professionally” not “professional” like you said on the show.

    Simply visit the YouTube Videos and I know you will see that for the most part we’re against you.

    I mean to offend you, but I don’t think you’re qualified for somethings. Running against a woman with much more experienced than you wasn’t a smart move either. Considering that she’s also an icon of the comedy world.
    You should also be thankful that Kathy Griffin didn’t get all over you.

  37. lol says:

    lol just saw this show even tho it’s old …so much negative energy and fake smile from annie …i can’t stand to watch her
    can’t believe the screaming on the phone to phil and the horrible things she said and wished upon about joan

    love joan rivers in the show, definitely derserved to win

  38. Jo David says:

    Get over it, you lost.

  39. Chris says:

    I think you played the game superbly and raised lots of money for charity so fair play.
    Sadly right at the end you let everyone see your true colours, you are the most ungrateful and sour loser I think I have seen but then again poker player are all bad ungracious losers anyway.
    Poker player lol the most corrupt fixed game you can play at the top level.
