After graduating from secondary school, Howard made a decision to put higher education on hold for a bit and relocated to New York City to participate in some big-time chess. While playing 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 played countless hours and fail to win most times. He earned some additional money by becoming an assistant for the poker players. He theorized he could boost his game by balancing his life outside of poker. He brought about an attempt to acquire more sleep and concentrate even more on the game.

The actual improvement in his skills began when he started wagering at the Mayfair Club in New York City.
