Howard Lederer lived in a family of five in which he loved participating in various card games at a young age. He discovered himself becoming really competitive in the above-mentioned card games while playing his dad. After finishing Sr. High school, Howard decided to place college on hold for a bit and headed to New York to participate in some serious chess. While participating in chess, he was brought in to a poker game taking place in the rear of the room. Howard’s 1st two years were difficult as he played many hours and do not win a majority of the time. He earned some additional money by being an assistant for the poker enthusiasts. He judged he could better his game by adjusting his life away from poker. He brought about an effort to get more rest and concentrate even more on the game.
The real improvement in his abilities happened when he began wagering at the Mayfair Club in New York City. The Mayfair was a bridge and backgammon club where the greatest gamblers would regularly challenge each other. He was able to access several of the foremost minds in chess. With their help, he would tweak his strategic thinking skills. He used these strategy ideas in the game of No-Limit texas hold’em.
Howard Lederer also helped his sister Annie Duke learn the game of poker. She was a great student of poker as she would always be asking questions about how to make the correct choice. Howard told Annie Duke to head out to Las Vegas and play in the World Series of Poker competition. Annie Duke is one of the strongest women players the poker arena has ever seen. He moved to Sin City in 1993 and played money games for the following 10 years. When the WPT grew in popularity, he decided to play more tournaments.
