NL Texas Holdem Poker- Howard Lederer?
Howard Lederer was born into in a family of 5 where he enjoyed gambling on different card games when he was young. He found himself becoming very competitive in these card games as he was playing his father. After graduating from secondary school, Howard made a decision to place higher education on hold for a little while and moved to New York to compete in some formidable chess. While playing chess, he was brought in to a poker game going on in the back of the room. Howard’s initial two years were difficult as he would play extensive hours and do not win a majority of the time. He earned some additional money by being an assistant for the poker players. He judged he possibly could improve his game by analyzing his life outside of poker. He made an effort to get more rest and concentrate even more on poker.
The real improvement in his abilities happened when he began betting at the Mayfair Club in New York City. The Mayfair was a bridge and backgammon association where the greatest players would frequently play against one another. He was able to access several of the greatest minds in chess. With their help, he would sharpen his cunning thinking abilities. He applied these strategic concepts to the game of No-Limit texas hold’em.
He also assisted his sibling Annie Duke learn poker. Annie was an excellent student of the game as she would consistently be asking questions about the right way to make the proper choice. Howard Lederer told Annie to head out to Las Vegas and play in the World Series of Poker competition. Annie is one of the greatest women players the poker world has ever seen. Howard headed to Sin City in 1993 and participated in cash games for the subsequent decade. When the WPT gained popularity, he made the decision to play more tournaments.
