NL Texas Hold’em Poker- Howard Lederer?
Howard Lederer was born into in a family of 5 where he liked taking part in different card games at a young age. He discovered himself becoming very competitive in these particular card games while playing his dad. After graduating from high school, Howard made a decision to place higher education on hold for a bit and relocated to New York to play some formidable chess. While playing chess, he was introduced to a poker game taking place in the back of the room. Howard’s 1st two years were difficult as he would play countless hours and lost a majority of the time. He earned some extra cash by becoming an assistant for the poker players. He believed he possibly could improve his game by adjusting his life outside of poker. He made an attempt to acquire more sleep and focus attention more on the game.
The real improvement in his abilities happened when he started playing at the Mayfair Club in New York. The Mayfair was a bridge and backgammon association where the greatest gamblers would often wager against one another. Howard had access into a number of the best players in chess. With their assistance, Howard would tweak his strategic thinking skills. He applied these strategic ideas to the game of No-Limit hold’em.
Howard also helped his sister Annie Duke learn poker. Annie Duke was a great student of poker as she would always be asking questions about how to make the correct choice. He told Annie to move out to Sin City and compete in the WSOP competition. Annie Duke is one of the strongest female players the poker arena has ever seen. Howard Lederer headed to Vegas in 1993 and played money games for the following 10 years. When the World Poker Tournament grew in popularity, he made the decision to compete in more tournaments.
