While competing in chess, he was introduced to a poker game going on in the back of the room. Howard’s 1st 2 years were rough as he played many hours and fail to win a majority of the time. He earned some extra cash by becoming an runner for the poker players. He theorized he possibly could improve his game by analyzing his life away from poker. He made an effort to get more sleep and concentrate even more on poker.
