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.

Oh ic. When Daniel had a bad year didnt make nay wpt final tables he was unlucky or running bad. But yet when Howard doesn't have a good year its because he's not as good as Daniel. Makes sense.

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!!

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.

I giggled out loud for the first time on this forum at this. Well played.

He's been on a bit of a dry spell on the tourney circuit, though he finished 131st or so at the main event this year.
He was banned by Andy Beal, so that should give you an indication of how good he is. He's busy with business (Full Tilt, seminars etc) and said on Full Tilt chat that he has his whole life to get back into the cash games but has too much respect for the players to play them now if he can't put 100% into them. I believe he has a huge stash of gold and platinum bricks burried in the Nevada hills.
