Howard Lederer lived in a family of 5 in which he enjoyed playing numerous card games when he was young. He discovered himself getting very competitive in these particular card games while playing his father. After finishing secondary school, Howard decided to place higher education on hold for a little bit and moved away to New York City to participate in some big-time chess. While playing chess, he was introduced to a poker game going on in the back of the room. Howard’s 1st two years were rough as he would play countless hours and don’t win most times. He earned some additional cash by becoming an runner for the poker enthusiasts. He judged he could improve his game by adjusting his life away from poker. He made an effort to acquire more sleep and focus more on poker.
The definite improvement in his skills began when he began playing at the Mayfair Club in New York. The Mayfair was a bridge and backgammon club where the best players would often play against each other. Howard had access into several of the foremost minds in chess. With their help, Howard Lederer would tweak his cunning thinking abilities. Howard applied these strategy ideas to the game of NL texas hold’em.
He also helped his sibling Annie Duke learn the game of poker. She was a superb student of poker as she constantly asked questions about how to make the proper choice. Howard told Annie Duke to move out to Las Vegas and play in the World Series of Poker competition. She is one of the best women players the poker world has ever seen. He relocated to Las Vegas in 1993 and competed in money games for the subsequent decade. When the WPT gained popularity, Howard made the decision to play more tournaments.
