Howard Lederer, is he any good?

I haven't seen him on any WPT final tables for a looong time. Is he not as good as Negreanu, Ivey, Brunson etc? Has he been unlucky?

He is good, but not good enough to be in the top 10 like he was labelled by the tournament of "champions" on ESPN. Overrated, like his sister.

Not everyone enjoys the limelight, or is as "exciting" to know about or watch as those three players you mention.

Honestly Howard seems kind of dull...(in comparison to those three listed) but I am sure he's one of those players the fellow pros see and go "ugh" secretly when they sit down at their assigned table.

not that good, but still alot better than 99.9% of all poker players. yes, that also includes you!!

I think Howard has more focus on CASH games then the tourney. trail----but before saying is he not AS GOOD--- we would need to find out what his total return against total entries are---I would not be shocked if he has a higher return per entry then most tourney pros.

No, he actually sucks. Greenstein and Co. like to put him against Andy Beal in the Big Game as a red herring while Johnny Chan sneaks dons his leopard-print ninja suit and steals the golden monkey paw from the back room.

dont think he plays in cash games anymore. If he does, I never see him play at the Bellagio. He might of moved or something though, considering I dont see his wife anymore nd she used to work there.
