NL Texas Holdem Poker- Who is Howard Lederer?
Howard Lederer was born into in a family of 5 in which he loved betting on various card games when he was young. He found himself getting very aggressive in these particular card games while playing his father. After finishing high school, Howard decided to put higher education on hold for a bit and headed to New York to participate in some serious chess. While participating in chess, he was introduced to a poker game taking place in the rear of the room. Howard’s initial two years were tough as he played countless hours and fail to win most times. He earned some extra money by becoming an assistant for the poker enthusiasts. He theorized he might boost his game by adjusting his life away from poker. He brought about an attempt to acquire more rest and focus more on poker.
The definite improvement in his game began when he began playing at the Mayfair Club in New York. The Mayfair was a bridge and backgammon club where the best gamblers would often wager against each other. Howard was able to access several of the greatest players in chess. With their help, Howard Lederer would hone his strategic thinking techniques. Howard applied these strategy ideas to the game of No-Limit hold’em.
Howard also helped his sibling Annie Duke master poker. Annie Duke was an excellent student of the game as she would always be asking questions about the right way to make the correct decision. He told Annie to move out to Sin City and compete in the WSOP competition. She is one of the greatest female players the poker world has ever seen. Howard moved to Sin City in 1993 and played money games for the following decade. When the World Poker Tournament gained popularity, he made the decision to participate in more tournaments.
