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 she made her initial online bankroll by winning freeroll poker tournaments from which she went on to amass several hundred thousand dollars in winnings. 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]} As of February 2008, Pocketfives.com, a site that tracks online poker, ranks her number 51. 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 claims 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 March 2, 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 June 8, 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.

Prior to the 2007 WSOPE, Obrestad had only cashed in four other live poker tournaments.^[6] Obrestad currently holds first place among Norwegian poker players in the all-time money list in live tournaments.^[7]
