She learned the game from her brother Howard Lederer - who she considers one of her most respected players along with Ted Forrest, Jennifer Harman, and Eric Seidel. She plays in a many of the higher-limit tournaments and cash games in Las Vegas.

Annie's sister, Katy Lederer, recently wrote a memoir titled Pokerface which talks about Annie's poker family.
