Howard Lederer grew up in a family of 5 where he loved taking part in different card games when he was young. He found himself becoming very aggressive in these particular card games while playing his dad. After finishing Sr. High school, Howard decided to put college on hold for a little bit and moved away to New York to participate in some big-time chess. While participating in chess, he was brought in to a poker game going on in the rear of the room. Howard’s initial 2 years were rough as he would play countless hours and lose a majority of the time. He earned some extra money by becoming an runner for the poker players. He judged he could better his game by adjusting his life away from poker. He made an effort to get more rest and concentrate even more on the game.
The actual improvement in his game began when he started playing at the Mayfair Club in New York City. The Mayfair was a bridge and backgammon club where the best gamblers would often challenge each other. Howard was able to access a few of the greatest minds in chess. With their help, Howard Lederer would sharpen his cunning thinking abilities. Howard used these strategic concepts in the game of No-Limit holdem.
Howard also helped his sister Annie Duke master the game of poker. Annie Duke was a great student of poker as she constantly asked questions about how to make the proper choice. He told Annie to head out to Sin City and play in the World Series of Poker competition. She is one of the greatest female players the poker arena has ever seen. Howard Lederer headed to Vegas in Nineteen Ninety Three and played money games for the subsequent decade. When the WPT gained popularity, he decided to play more tournaments.
