Poker Player Profiles


Howard Lederer
     
Howard Lederer has quickly become one of the most respected players around. As opposed to the "crazy" players like Scotty Nguyen or Hon Le, Howard is more of an intellectual player and had appearances at the final table of the World Poker Tour episodes at the Foxwoods and the Party Poker Million shows. Howard plays in high limit cash games well as the bigger tournaments.

Howard is the worst!!! This clip proves it. Anyone with any kind of tournament experience can see this.

u hit the nail on the head bad-dog,,10 times more respectable than his sis,,but what the heck has he ever done? he plays like a rock,,ala harrington,,predictable to the degree

Haha! December 14, 2006
Yeah Adam, great point. Talkign about great playes who never made a final table, and one of the players on your list actually WON the WSOP main event. GREAT POINT!

Also were any of those guys playing Hold em in 1987? How old was Ivey then? 9? What about Negreanu? 11? Great points. So I'll say this. As far as Luske goes, He could've easily made the final table at the 2004 Main Event. He was too aggressive for his own good and went all in with the best hand against Harrington who called and caught one of his many outs. So what?
Luske finished 14th in 2003 out of 839 people and 10th in 2004 out of 2,500+ people. WAY BETTER THAN LEDERER!

Oh, slipped my mind. That is right.

Thanks for proving that you had no argument, however, by focusing on my one mistake, and ignoring the basic point altogether.

How about a few..Ivey, Negreanu, Luske, Scotty Ngyuen....

Probably the most Overrated player in the game today. Made the final table of the main event in 1987 and hasn't been back since. Probably about 35 people in that tournament back in 1987. Never wins and thinks way too much for his own good.

I believe he is the smartest player in the game. He is a great player but just doesnt do well in the tournaments but that doesnt mean is not one of the best.

Howard chuckled and said "No Cat my chef will do that for us,Perhaps while talking to Annie you can go outside in the stables for privacy"..I said "Ok Howard tell Annie I will see her sunday and see u too old friend"..Howard said "Be great to see you again Cat"!

englishcat, stop trying to sound cool. You're just a fat kid in his basement who doesn't know a single pro poker player, and couldn't get anyone to like him to save his life. Lederer is an amazing player though. His precise calculations are amazing. He isa great reader, and one of my favorite players to watch.

Howard just phoned..he sounded quite upset..he said "Cat,Annie is in a bad way,shes thinking of leaving George and wants you to come over and meet her"..I said "Why does she want to meet me Howard my friend?".he said "Because Annie is mad about u Cat and she wants to see if it will work out with you"..I was dumbfounded and said "Wow Howard I adore Annie I will come over very soon,and the advantage of being with her Howard is that You and I can play lots of home games"..Howard chuckled and said "Hurry up Cat Id love to see you with her"!

I bought his DVD's and they helped my game a ton. I e-mailed Mr. L a few questions and he was nice enough to answer them. Englishcat, get a life.Flashy play looks great on tv, and sucking out on a draw is dramatic, but not good poker.So for the trash talking types, enjoy your bluster, but if you sit with me you would keep your mouth shut, I can guarantee it.And a guy like Howard would demolish you at the table.

You people are too funny. I got on this site to learn more about some top poker players. I am a "Saturday evening kitchen table" player, $10 buy in kind of thing. Even then I usually get beat! I just like watching the WPT and wanted to know more about some of my favorite players. Half of the people who post on here are nuts! My favorite is Englishcat. I love the way he gets all of the rest of you worked up. Don't you all realize that this is just a lonley guy who forgot to take his medication. If you quit responding to him he will get bored and take up a new website where he can tell everyone he is best friends with all of the top players on the PBA bowling tour. Then perhaps we could actually read what mentally stable people think of these great poker players. Just a thought.

Thanks Ms Pockets..want to be my friend?..anyways its all true about Howard and of course u cant see his hands shake on Tv now cos I told him how to get rid of it..He rang tonight by the way..he said "Cat when are u coming over I havent seen u for a while" I said "How about I fly over on Monday and see u?"..he was so excited and started whooping and cheering..he said "Wow Cat you have made my day I cat wait to see you again"..see you soon friend Howard :)

no she is not. she is overrated, she is good but overrated. she won the 04 WSOP Tournament of Champions, so what it was a single table thing, Johnny moss did the same thing in the first WSOP. i am definatley not saying moss is not good , he is debatebaly the best pokerplayer EVER. and by the way duke was eliminated on like day 1. howard is still in it.

What have you done for us lately, Howard? I'm starting to doubt your credentials. I actually think Annie is better. You need to stop playing tournies like a cash game player. You'll never win that way. And stop with all the zen nonsense, just play poker!

Hehe thanks Mr Gerbil..all these "stories" are true and if u ask my friends the pro`s involved they will confirm them..Howards in Vegas now and Annie rung earlier saying that Howard has been sleeping poorly and what should she do? I said "Annie get him a small bottle of whisky to help him sleep"..she said "Thanks Cat I will go out and purchase one now" I hope that solves Howards sleep problems and that he wins the world series!

People who say they have no fear of any player at a NL game isnt a good player. Ive been playing big cash games and tournies for serveral years (long before it became popular by T.V.) there are mahy many players here in L.A. that are every bit as good as the top pros that mix up their game so well that its extremely difficult to get an qaccurate fix on them at all times. the key is to use the fear as your ally. want to play against me? .... bring it!

"Posted by: Mulli21 on Feb 25, 2004 Tell Howard to bring it! Next time I'm in Vegas, or if he has the guts to come to Ultimate Bet, I'll take him down...."

u could not take him down. He is a great player. He has made the final table of the WSOP several times in several events. His nickname is the professor for a reason.

pokerroom is quite good..Howard and I played a big tourney on there a while ago..I sat nr him and helped advise him what to do..first hand we pick up kings..he asked me what to do..I said "small raise Howard" anyways we double the blind and someone went all in!..he was umming and ahhing and said "now what Cat..whats he got?"..I said "Hes got Ace jack or ace 10 Howard"..anyways we called..turned over ace 10..Howard said "how did u know that Cat?"..I laughed and said "instinct friend"..anyways we won the hand and finished up winning the tourney!

I am so sick and tired of these idiots who write to this forum that have the balls to impose their opinions on Howard. Howard could run circles around any of you at the poker table. His style is flawless and he always gets his money in with the best hands. So people like iveyfan05 who spend most of their day having arguments on message boards and shrinking their yahoo play money accounts, should realize that they have no idea how to play a hand of poker correctly. Howard plays in the largest games in the world( 30,000/ 60,000) where the small blind could buy you a used Escalade. I've seen him sit down at a table where the big blind is more than every single player who has ever posted here combined has ever made in their entire lives. So all of you ignorant people who try and and give a good reason why you don't like Howard's play need to understand that just because your poker career highlight was a 10 person five, dollar buy in home tournament doesn't mean that you are ready to even get within 500 yards of a real tournament. You people should stop acting as if you know what you speak and you should continue playing grandpa (0.01/0.02)no limit hold em in the kitchen. Most of everybody in here just watch the World Poker Tour or the 2004 WSOP and think that just because there was one freak accident where they doubled up on yahoo poker that they have anything that remotely resembles any kind of poker knowledge. So they lesson today kids is too realize that you are all worse than amateurs and that you will never become 1/20th the player Howard is. And that you need to put your foot in your mouths and do what you do best, pissing and shitting your huggies, waiting for poker too come on T.V. so you can at least fantasize about becoming that good.

Now look, Howard appeals to the deliberate and brainy, not the punk types. If you think you can re-invent the wheel and not study, go ahead. You figure it out by making mistakes and I'll read up on how not to make them by the guys that have done the best.See you at the tables, until you do something stupid and bust out.As far as Annie Duke, grow up, put down the magazine and lotion, grow a sack and get your own woman instead of playing high-school games and talking about it.

Sit around the house thinking of ways to win internet arguments? hmmm.. It was actually really spontaneous. You see...I was writing a four page college essay on homeland security and playing a four man game of Madden 05 at the same time. Next think I know I'm typing posts with my penis. That should give you a general idea of where this ranks on my priorities list. Now, let me translate your comeback since you've attempted to mature it as a result of my previous post. Here goes.."it would take more than a jerk like you.." Translation: "you're a doo doo head!!"...... "you really need to get a life" Translation: "I don't like you ANYWAYS!!". So there you have it. Exactly what I predicted. One thing I noticed about your post is that the person who laughs the hardest at your jokes is..well..YOU. You're trying to act mature as if graduating from the middle school was some deep growing experience. Just because you no longer call dibs on the back of the school bus and make fart noises with your armpit, doesn't mean you're all grown up now. In your posts you try to portray your image as the mature one and me as the one with maturity issues. If you really wanted to be a grown up then don't criticize established pros like they are going to read your posts and change their whole style of poker. Swallow your ego and your pride and praise the things they do well. There..now you should be all grown up. Now that's my opinion so you can respect it or not. I'm hoping you will have grown up a little by the time I get your response. All you needed was a little help from me. P.S.- stop checking your made hands in first position after the river hits only to have your opponent check behind you and have your full house embaressingly revealed to the table for minimum profit. Just a pointer for ya lil guy. ;)

So please read my Feb. 13th post in it's entirety so you can one-fingered type a childish comeback somewhere along the lines of "yea well you're a doo doo head!! And I don't like you ANYWAYS!!", as you run down the street with your arms flailing, sporting a pouty face. Following that, I will return the favor with another five star comeback making your previous comeback look like a melted bronze medal and hopefully (for the sake of everybody who occupies this site) driving you away from ever posting on this site again. :)

I hope Howard reads your criticism and takes your advice to heart iveyfan. You are one of the most unpredictable opponents at the table and people like Lederer model their game after you. Basically what I"m trying to say is, you're a blip on the radar that is "the poker world". Every one of your posts I see are somehow criticizing established pros when you're probably a friggin Party Poker amateur who brings your entire play money bankroll to the ring games. Everybody...Iveyfan is a true legend in the Party POker play money world. He says his greatest strength is that he DOESN'T go all in every hand. And oh yea, he thinks any card with an ace attached to it is unbeatable. I know that this response was rude and confrontational, but you guys were thinking it anyways. aha!

i know hes a brilliant guy, all i was saying is that maybe if he loostened up a little his table image would allow him to take down more pots without having the cards...i think he overthinks at times...that being said he is a really good player. i love reading articles written by him because he knows the game so well

Probably the unluckiest poker player I've seen...perhaps ever. He is a GREAT player who is very intelligent. Yes he has won some big tourneys and I'm sure he ain't hurting for money but Howard should have a lot more titles under his belt than he does. Makes you sick to see some of his bad beats.....Lil Sis Annie Duke makes a set of 6's beating Howard and his pocket 7's at the WSOP Tournament of Champions this year! Doyle making a flush on the river beating Howie's set of 7's! HORRIBLE BEATS! This guy is not very lucky and unfortunately that happens to some really good players. He has won his fair share but history won't show him as one of the all time greats and luck has a lot to do with that.

Before we all lose our life saving going to the WSOP think about this. Howard entered the WSOP for 22 years straight, and did not end up in the money.He finally did last year. So all you joe six packs play your home games. Something else to chew on when howard went all in with crap cards in the tourny of champs last year ,when they panned the cam to his wife she was saying a little prayer.Why do that if poker was not alot of luck and prayer.

BEST LIMIT TOURNY PLAYER, PERIOD. I love watching this guy heads up, raising on the button every hand. This guy reads people and situations in limit better then any player in the world, in my opinion. If he could master No Limit and Pot Limit like he's master Limit, he'd be the best player in the world. The only weakness I've seen in his game is his ability to read great N.L. players bluffs. I've seen him fold quite a few times when guys push him around and he has decent pre-flop odds, it always seems to keep him a little too tight and with not enough chips near the end of N.L. tourny's to take the whole enchilada. But this guy is a definite class act. Would be nice if he was a little more entertaining, he's about as fun as watching paint dry. Except in heads up limit play, when he seems to frustrate the hell out of his opponents.

Howard Lederer is simply brilliant and it is a pleasure to watch him play. You can almost see the mathematical permutations in his aura when he goes to push in his chips. Smart, sophisticated and highly entertaining!

I've only recently been watching poker and I've getting the hang of it, but I can still tell what an outstanding player he is. He knows just how to interact with a person to contemplate what they are holding and how to play the hand. I am hoping he does much better than 19th place this year, he deserves it.

I LOVE to watch Howard play! He is an incedibly interesting man as is all of his family. Great ability must run in their family. I am reading a book currently by his other sister that people have not heard of Katy and it gives very interesting insight into the play of both Howard and Annie Duke (his other sister for those of you that don't know) and the family they were raised in that makes them who they are today.

Quite possibly the best poker player on the planet today. Every decision is well thought out and he is usually bang on. Two time winner on the WPT this year ain't bad.

Howard Lederer is one of the best poker players. I say this because he layed down 10,10. If he called, Paul Darden would have eliminated him, since he had pocket Qs. How does he know what he has? Pocket tens are a good starting hand. Howard is very good.

I have truly enjoyed watching Howard play and am learning a lot. He is extremely intelligent and a joy to see play limit hold-em. He also adds the element of class and discipline to every tournament that he enters. Keep on doing what you are doing Howard.

Lederer has an instructional holdem video out that I bought a few days ago off of
www.secretsofholdem.com. It hasn't come yet, but I'm curious to see what's on it.

Tell Howard to bring it! Next time I'm in Vegas, or if he has the guts to come to Ultimate Bet, I'll take him down....

The professor is pretty fun to watch. He gets unlucky at times by having people draw out on him. But he is the most analytical poker players around.

I have modeled my poker play after Lederer, and along with reading a few books by mike sklanski and of course supersystem, i am currently just cleaning up at neihborhood and stealing Fed-Ex players money

Who cares how much he used to weigh. He slimmed down, looks good now, and is one of the most famous poker players around. As for FSU1, every player makes mistakes, it's part of the game. He may not read accurate 100% of the time, but I'd say 98% of the time is pretty darn good. Good luck in '04 WSoP, Lederer!

Its a joke to watch him try to stare down the best players in the world! He got punk'd in the 2003 WSOP by Paul Darden.

The Professor is by far my favorite player to watch. He is the thinking man's man - I guess that's what makes him interesting to me. Hopefully Howard will see the final table at 2004's WSoP and take 1st!

I enjoy watching Howard as well. He gives off that "everyman" quality--not real flashy, but extremely smart.
