Monday, 16. December 2013
Howard Lederer grew up in a family of five in which he liked betting on various card games when he was young. He found himself getting very aggressive in these particular card games while competing against his dad. After graduating from secondary school, Howard decided to put college on hold for a little while and moved away to New York City to play some formidable chess. While playing chess, he was brought in to a poker game taking place in the rear of the room. Howard’s first two years were rough as he played countless hours and fail to win most times. He made some extra money by becoming an assistant for the poker players. He believed he could improve his game by adjusting his life away from poker. He brought about an attempt to get more sleep and focus attention even more on the game.
The actual improvement in his game began when he began wagering at the Mayfair Club in New York City. The Mayfair was a bridge and backgammon association where the best players would often play against each other. He had access into several of the foremost minds in chess. With their help, he would hone his logical thinking skills. He applied these strategic concepts to the game of No-Limit texas hold’em.
Howard also assisted his sister Annie Duke master poker. She was a superb student of poker as she would consistently be asking questions about the right way to make the correct decision. Howard Lederer told Annie to move out to Sin City and compete in the WSOP tournaments. She is one of the best female players the poker arena ever. He headed to Vegas in Nineteen Ninety Three and competed in cash games for the subsequent decade. When the WPT grew in popularity, he made the decision to play more tournaments.
