In addition to her poker achievements, Duke has made a name for herself as an author and expert in decision-making. She has written several instructional books for poker players, including "Decide to Play Great Poker" and "The Middle Zone." 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.

In 2007, she co-founded the non-profit organization Ante Up for Africa with actor Don Cheadle, raising funds for charities working in African nations. 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. Her involvement in the poker community extended to her role as co-founder, executive vice president, and commissioner of the Epic Poker League from 2011 to 2012.
Anne Duke's contributions to both the poker world and decision science have left a lasting legacy.
