Howard Lederer grew up in New Hampshire in a family of five. Howard spent much of his childhood on the family room floor engrossed in card games, including poker. At eighteen, Howard deferred college for a year and moved to New York to pursue his passion for chess. He soon discovered a poker game in the back room of his favorite chess club. He was immediately hooked! Howard made big strides in his game when he started to play at the Mayfair Club in New York. The Mayfair was a legendary bridge and backgammon club (home to the greatest games players in the world). Howard became part of a circle of players who were the first to experiment with no limit hold 'em in New York when it was first introduced in the mid eighties. Everyone was new to the game, but the ideas flowed freely and elevated their playing efforts. This group of early players included Dan Harrington, Steve Zolotow, Jay Heimowitz, and Erik Seidel.
In order to take his game to the next level, Howard moved to Las Vegas in 1993. Life in Las Vegas has been good to Howard - the best being his son Matthias and his wife Suzie.
