Howard Lederer grew up in a family of 5 where he loved playing numerous card games when he was young. He discovered himself becoming very competitive in the above-mentioned card games as he was competing against his dad. After graduating from secondary school, Howard decided to put college on hold for a little while and moved to New York to play some serious chess. While participating in chess, he was brought in to a poker game taking place in the back of the room. Howard’s first two years were tough as he would play many hours and lose most times. He made some extra cash by becoming an assistant for the poker enthusiasts. He believed he could boost his game by adjusting his life away from poker. He made an effort to get more sleep and focus attention even more on the game.
The definite improvement in his skills began when he started gambling at the Mayfair Club in New York. The Mayfair was a bridge and backgammon association where the best gamblers would frequently compete against each other. He was able to access some of the best minds in chess. With their assistance, Howard Lederer would sharpen his logical thinking abilities. He applied these strategy concepts to the game of No-Limit holdem.
Howard also helped his sister Annie Duke learn poker. She was a great student of the game as she constantly asked questions about how to make the correct decision. He told Annie Duke to head out to Las Vegas and compete in the World Series of Poker tournaments. She is one of the best women players the poker world has ever seen. He headed to Vegas in Nineteen Ninety Three and participated in cash games for the successive 10 years. When the World Poker Tournament gained popularity, Howard made the decision to participate in more tournaments.
