After finishing high school, Howard decided to place college on hold for a little bit and relocated to New York City to participate in some serious chess. While competing in chess, he was brought in to a poker game going on in the rear of the room. Howard’s initial two years were rough as he would play many hours and do not win a majority of the time. He made some additional money by being an runner for the poker players. He theorized he might boost his game by adjusting his life away from poker. He brought about an effort to get more sleep and focus more on poker.
