He discovered himself getting really competitive in the above-mentioned card games as he was competing against his father. After finishing Sr. High school, Howard made a decision to place college on hold for a little while and moved away to New York City to play some serious chess. While competing in chess, he was brought in to a poker game going on in the back of the room. Howard’s initial 2 years were tough as he would play many hours and fail to win a majority of the time. He earned some additional cash by becoming an runner for the poker players. He believed he might improve his game by analyzing his life outside of poker. He brought about an effort to acquire more sleep and focus even more on the game.
