Default Re: Howard Lederer, is he any good?

I gave a serious answer which is very accurate about Howard (except for the part about the gold bricks buried in the Nevada hills) seven posts before my fun little satire piece (though there is speculation that Whitey Bulger did have something to do with the Gardner heist) No hate intended.

Wonder if the poker boom would have been not as big if Lederer won the WSOP in 2003 instead of Moneymaker.

Of course not. I think you need the ultra-amateur image for the boom to really boom. If Lederer wins in 2003, I see 1000 entrants for the main event in 2004 and maybe 1500 in 2005 (Raymer probably would have bumped it up a good bit).

Guys, I know he's good, really good. But is he the best player of them all? top 10?

Our opinion would be pretty suspect, since most of us haven't played him, and none of us are on his level.

What he said. I guess I'd put him in my top 20, and probably top 10, but the top five is kinda crowded.

Still, he's been a great player since the late 80s and that counts for something.
