Howard Lederer lived in a family of 5 where he liked participating in various card games when he was young. He found himself becoming very competitive in the above-mentioned card games while competing against his father. After graduating from Sr. High school, Howard made a decision to place college on hold for a little bit and relocated to New York City to participate in some big-time chess. While competing in chess, he was brought in to a poker game going on in the back of the room. Howard’s 1st 2 years were difficult as he played extensive hours and lose most times. He made some extra cash by being an runner for the poker players. He theorized he possibly could better his game by adjusting his life away from poker. He brought about an effort to get more rest and focus attention even more on poker.
The definite improvement in his abilities began when he began gambling at the Mayfair Club in New York. The Mayfair was a bridge and backgammon association where the the most favorable players would regularly wager against each other. He was able to access several of the best minds in chess. With their help, Howard Lederer would sharpen his strategic thinking skills. Howard used these strategy concepts in the game of No-Limit Texas Holdem.
Howard also assisted his sibling Annie Duke learn poker. Annie Duke was a great student of poker as she would always be asking questions about the right way to make the proper choice. He told Annie to head out to Vegas and play in the World Series of Poker competition. Annie Duke is one of the greatest female players the poker arena has ever seen. Howard headed to Las Vegas in 1993 and played cash games for the successive 10 years. When the WPT gained popularity, Howard made the decision to play more tournaments.
