Re: Tonight\'s Las Vegas - Howard Lederer, Cheating in Poker
The episode did not portray Howard Lederer as a cheat. It portrayed the school teacher who beat Howard Lederer as a cheat.
Plus there was the guy Mike who uncovered the cheating. He represents those like you who love poker and are concerned about its honesty.
But Dominic is right, this show is cheap entertainment on the level of Fantasy Island or The Love Boat. It is fun and not meant to be taken seriously. People are constantly getting beaten up and robbed on that show and I don't think anyone in Vegas is concerned about the image it potrays. It is fiction.
