In addition to her poker achievements, Duke has made a name for herself as an author and expert in decision-making.

Her 2005 autobiography, "How I Raised, Folded, Bluffed, Flirted, Cursed, and Won Millions at the World Series of Poker," offers a personal look into her life and career. Beyond poker, Duke has authored two influential books on decision-making: "Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts" and "How to Decide: Simple Tools for Making Better Choices." These works have established her as a thought leader in cognitive-behavioral decision science.

She has also hosted and participated in numerous charitable poker tournaments to support various causes. Duke has been a vocal advocate for the legality of online gambling and has worked to protect players' rights, particularly in terms of controlling their own image.
