Welcome to Annette Poker a fan site of the young superstar poker player from Norway, Annette Obrestad. Most famous for her aggressive style of play and fearsome reputation as a poker tournament professional Annette shot in to the public eye in September 2007 when she won £1,000,000 (One Million Pounds) by finishing 1st in the World Series of Poker Europe.
Since that amazing win Annette has had a few more successes but nothing to quite match it, she finished 2nd in the European Poker Tour Dublin for a $431,184 pay day also in 2007 and has had a string of stead money finishes both on and offline for the past few Years.
In 2010 Annette Obrestad steps up to her biggest stage yet as she is finally old enough to play her first ever World Series of Poker (WSOP), the laws in the United States unlike those in the UK where the WSOPE is held require by law that players are aged 21 or over.
Annette is now 21 and will be taking part in the biggest live poker tournaments in the World, held in the Mecca of gambling Las Vegas Nevada. Will Annette make yet more history by winning a WSOP bracelet?
Annette plays a lot of poker online and has the screen name Annette_15, this screen name hit the headlines in 2009 when it was deemed unfit to show on the TV advert for her sponsors Bet Fair Poker as it may have portrayed the message that Annette who featured on the add was only 15 Years old. Although this was not the case it is well known that Annette did begin her online poker career at the age of 15.
Her online poker career has had a lot of praise, at one point Annette claimed to have played a $4 120 seat tournament and only once looked at her cards. She did win this tournament and says it was to prove a point that playing position and paying attention to the other players is a major factor of the game, point proven!!
Annette is well known for her pretty outrageous bluff and players often have no clue whats going on. It often however works to her advantage as when she does pick up a premium hand no one has any clue where they stand. Just glad she doesn’t hail from the UK and play 3 card brag down her local pub!
