I got more serious about my makeup game about a year ago (mid 2017), and I've been pretty obsessed ever since lol. She also has another channel called, “Annette’s Makeup Corner” which has about 33,000 subscribers. I had no idea that this girl that goes by the name of Annette was Annette Obrestad. But the fact that she had mentioned in one of her videos that she had played poker for a living piqued my curiosity.

Poker[edit]
Online poker[edit]
Annette Obrestad started her poker career online when she was only fifteen years old using the online screen-name 'Annette_15.' She claims she never had to deposit money on any online poker site, instead making her initial online bankroll by winning freeroll poker tournaments. Between September 2006 and February 2007,[citation needed] she won over $500,000 on Pokerstars, $200,000 on UltimateBet, and $136,000 on Full Tilt Poker.[citation needed] Pocketfives.com, a site that tracks online poker, ranked her number 51 in 2008. She also has been the site's top-ranked player in the past.[2]
In July 2007, Obrestad won a $4 buy-in 180 person online sit-and-go where she claims to have played almost the entire tournament without looking at her cards. She has said she peeked at her cards once during the tournament, when she was faced with an all-in bet. She did this to show 'just how important it is to play position and to pay attention to the players at the table.'[3] On 2 March 2008 she won first place and $20,000 in the Stars Sunday Hundred Grand, a tournament with a buy-in of only $11 but with a field of 20,000 players.[4] On 8 June 2008, she won first place and $35,000 in the Betfair Sunday $125k GTD Event. In December 2008 she won first place in the Ultimate Bet $100k GTD tournament. In May 2010, she won the Sunday 500 for $87,400.
Oberstad previously allied with the Betfair poker room and Full Tilt Poker. On 24 April 2012, she signed with Lock Poker.
World Series of Poker Europe[edit]
On 17 September 2007 Obrestad won the inaugural World Series of Poker Europe Main Event the day before her 19th birthday.[5] By winning the one million-pound sterling (US$2.01 million at the time of the event) first prize she edged the record for a single-event payout to a female player set previously by poker professional Annie Duke when she won $2 million at the 2004 Tournament of Champions, which was an invitational event. Prior to the 2007 WSOPE, Obrestad had only cashed in four other live poker tournaments.[6] Obrestad currently holds second place among Norwegian poker players in the all-time money list in live tournaments.[7]

A Detailed Look At The Final Table Tournament Strategy Of Annette_15!
In our last article looking at Annette_15’s Poker Tournament Strategy we covered Annette’s play in the early and mid-game stages of multi-table poker tournaments. Here we continue the analysis by looking at how the Norwegian poker prodigy handles final table situations.
The tournaments looked at to bring you this breakdown of final table tournament tips ranges from online $5 MTTs, through $50+ rebuy tournaments and right up to the big events such as the World Series Of Poker Europe. We looked for common themes in Annette_15’s play at final tables to bring you a list of insights which should help improve the final table tournament strategy of all aspiring poker players.
Annette_15’s Final Table Strategy Tips
- Short Stacked Play: With less than 10 times the big blind, Annette makes only one move with any hand she plays- all-in! This avoids any further decision making when already pot-committed to calling a re-raise. Where Annette has more than 10 blinds and any remaining opponents have 10 or less the move is the same – shove or fold.
- No Calling: Annette_15 simply does not call raises, or even over-limp. Her tournament final table strategy involves either raising or folding. This demonstrates a very keen awareness of the ‘gap concept’ – and also keeps decisions on future betting rounds relatively simple. The only exception to this ‘raise or fold’ style was a very occasional complete of the small blind – even this was with cards with some multi-way potential (suited aces or connected cards)
- Attacking Weakness: This was relentless in all the final tables analyzed! Limpers in particular were subject to re-raises with a wide variety of hands – particularly anyone who limped from late position. Players who did not defend their blinds were also raised a very large proportion of the time – and can expect a continuation bet any time they flat called.
- Consistent Raise Sizes: Pre-flop raises and continuation bets followed a consistent size of around 2.5 times the big blind. The exact bets were often strange numbers, but always in the ballpark of 2.5… continuation bets were also consistent, around 2/3rds of the pot whether strong or weak – these bets effectively disguised the strength of Annette’s hands.
- Types Of Raising Hands: Of course these changed according to the number of opponents left, however from mid to late position with 6 to 8 opponents there were many of the same hands familiar from Annette’s middle tournament play still present. Suited connectors were a common raising choice – but interestingly not ‘one-gappers’ – suited high cards were also included and even some medium aces.
- Pressure Tactics: With a large stack the pressure on opponents was relentless in all of the final tables looked at. Here the top 40% to 50% of hands were raised, and continuation bets made. If an opponent played back when Annette was in fact weak then she folded – but usually came back raising again the very next hand. Medium-stacks were put under pressure at every single opportunity.
- Heads-Up: The button was key here, in one example Annette_15 raised the button 3 times in a row – each time folding to a big re-raise from her opponent. 4th time? You guessed it…. Annette raised the button again! Relative hand strengths and patterns of opponents were also a large part of heads-up poker strategy.
To summarize, the most striking thing about Annette_15’s final table tournament strategy is the fact that she never ‘calls’. Mixing aggression and persistence with bets which give away no information about the strength of her hand – Annette’s style makes here a truly formidable opponent at any tournament final table.
