Howard Lederer lived in a family of 5 in which he liked playing numerous card games when he was young. He discovered himself becoming very aggressive in the above-mentioned card games while competing against his father. After graduating from secondary school, Howard decided to place college on hold for a little bit and headed to New York City to compete in some formidable chess. While participating in chess, he was brought in to a poker game going on in the rear of the room. Howard’s first 2 years were difficult as he would play extensive hours and fail to win a majority of the time. He earned some extra cash by becoming an assistant for the poker players. He judged he could better his game by adjusting his life away from poker. He brought about an effort to get more rest and focus even more on poker.
