Howard Lederer

Howard Lederer is a professional poker player and brother of poker professional Annie Duke.

Born in 1964 in Concord, New Hampshire, Lederer grew up in a family of intellectuals who found enjoyment in playing games and cards. His father is Richard Lederer - a writer, linguist, and teacher.

After high school, Howard moved to New York City, where he attended Columbia University. Lederer was a former competitive chess player, so New York City suited Howard well since it is known for its chess clubs. He put his college plans on hold in order to pursue his dream of playing chess. He played daily at the clubs and it was at one of these clubs that he discovered a poker game going on in the back room. He played poker full-time and eventually began playing at the Mayfair Club, a well-known club for bridge and backgammon and a hot spot for some of the best players. Lederer played with other now well-known poker players like Erik Seidel and Dan Harrington.

Around 1993 Lederer moved to Las Vegas and continued his success as a professional poker player.

After racking up steady cashes in the WSOP during the 1990's, he won his first bracelet in 2000 in the $5,000 Limit Omaha Hi/Lo event, earning $198,000. The next year, in 2001, he won his second bracelet in the $5,000 No-Limit Deuce-to-Seven Lowball event, earning $165,870.

Lederer made his biggest mark on the poker world during season 1 of the WPT when he won 2 WPT titles. In 2002 he won the World Poker Finals for $345,400 and in 2003 he won the PartyPoker Million for $263,850.

In 2008, Lederer won AUD 1.25 million by winning the $100,000 No-Limit Hold'em Challenge at the Aussie Millions, marketed as the world's most expensive tournament buy-in.

In 2009 at the World Series of Poker Europe, he won the £5,000 Pot Limit Omaha event for £126,134.

Lederer is known as "The Professor" because of his analytical playing style. He has made an instructional poker video called Secrets of No Limit Hold'em and he runs the Howard Lederer Poker Fantasy Camp. His sister, Katy Lederer, wrote a book about the Lederer family, Poker Face: A Girlhood Among Gamblers.

Lederer is one of the founders of "Tiltware Inc", the owners of Full Tilt Poker. After the passage of the UIGEA, Tiltware changed its name and relocated to Ireland.

Although he is a vegan, Lederer once won a $10,000 prop bet from fellow poker player David Grey by eating a cheeseburger. Overweight for much of his life, Lederer eventually underwent gastric bypass surgery to lose weight.

As of 2009, he has 43 WSOP cashes, and live tournament winnings exceed $5,200,000. He currently resides in Las Vegas.

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

It shouldn't surprise you, just follow the money!

I recently learned that lederer and duke are jewish. Seems like there are alot of jewish players in the circuit right now...many I didnt even realize.

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

headlessman1964 on December 31, 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!

bad_dog76 on December 14, 2006

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.

AdamWolf on October 29, 2006

Let us know when you know what your talking about. Scotty
won the MF WSOP Championship in 1998!

????? on October 29, 2006

Would you like the lsit of great poker players that have NEVER made the WSOP final table, dog?

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

AdamWolf on October 27, 2006

152 entries in that tournament....Chan 1st

????? on October 10, 2006

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.

bad_dog76 on August 11, 2006

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.

JetsFan315 on August 11, 2005

Thanks for defending me JetsFan. It is about time someone believed me. Remember when we were out in the clubhouse all alone last weekend? That was some of the best oral I have ever had. I hope that rimjob I gave you kept you happy. By the way, your nuts stink. Wash up next time, for chrissakes.

englishcat on August 11, 2005

Yuk..evil people...Howard phoned earlier and wanted to know when Im coming over..I said I might pop round on sunday after seeing Jesus...he sounded delighted and said "I shall make sure Annie is there Cat and you and her can talk"..I said "Ok Howard.Id love that and will you be cooking dinner?" 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 on August 11, 2005

I can't quite figure out (no offense) if this is real or a dream? You know if you were really friends gloting is not an attractive thing. take a chill pill. LOL

ms_pockets on August 11, 2005

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"!

englishcat on August 10, 2005

englishcat you are bullshitt on a poker tournament couple of days ago they look in side annies live and she and george was kissing and just happy and everthing esle you are lieing like you told howard what to do at some thing he doesnt need help. and when annie and you kissed you said you was at london with jesus how can you be at to places at once.one more thing annie has kids and she would never leave them ok englishcat.

englishcat is a lier on August 10, 2005

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.

Unregistered on August 10, 2005

Last post evil..using such base and foul language..ban him!..Howard would hate to see that language..one time when we was out in a club near his home a drunk fellow used that awful word in front of him..quick as a flash Howard said "Buddy I think you better go out before I knock u out"..the guy looked ashamed and embarrassed..I turned to Howard and said "Well said Howard"..he said "Thanks Cat"..true story

englishcat on August 9, 2005

I would know the truth if it fell on my pointy little head. Me saying that something is the truth is like me saying that I am not a rampant homosexual douchebag.

englishcat on August 9, 2005

Howard phoned tonight..hes sending me plane tickets for next week to fly over and see him!..he said Annie put up half the money for the tickets..Its going to be so cool seeing him and Annie again...I cant wait !

Tut tut above post awful and wasnt by me..Anyways Howard just rung my mobile because Im at Devilfishes..He won his home game last night!..said he went all in on the end with 10 jack and outdrew Annies AK..he expected me to be pleased for him but I had to be harsh..I said "Howard dont go all in with that in future you will lose more than you win"..Howard stammered "But Cat,Its quite a good hand"..I said "No,Howard fold it in future"..he thought for a bit and laughed and said "Oh Cat you are right,I was lucky,thanks for the tip"..I said "Anytime friend Howard"!

englishcat on August 4, 2005

Hiya all..Howard phoned earlier..he sounded pretty upset..I said "Whats the matter friend Howard?"..he said "Cat,Im in a home game tonight and you wont be there,Annie and George will be there but you wont be"..I said "Howard I will be there in spirit and I will be thinking of you"..Howard cheered up at this and said "Oh cat you are such a good friend,thanks"..anyways I bet hes playing now..Good luck Howard!

englishcat on August 3, 2005

Howard is my friend and I will see him next week for a home game!

Unregistered on July 26, 2005

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.

silentcold on July 26, 2005

I can't help it guys, I have these fantasies about all of the (male) poker players. Maybe it is a result of getting ass drilled by my cousins, I am not sure. All I know is I love cock, and any one of the players on here can show me their "pocket rockets" anytime.

englishcat on July 25, 2005

howard is one of the hardest players to read. and also 10-10 is a good hand no matter how many players

JetsFan315 on July 25, 2005

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 :)

englishcat on July 25, 2005

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.

Amazed on July 25, 2005

That above post is v cruel..All I have to say is Howard and I are good friends..I have gave him many tips on poker..for example last time we played together he held KK..He was looking at his cards and I could see his hands start to shake a little..He said "Raise" In a husky voice..I was holding 10 10..I immediately said "I fold" then turned them over..Howard looked at me in shock..he said "Cat thats a good hand heads up why did u lay?!"..I said " I knew u had a good hand Howard" and then proceeded to tell him what tells He gave me..after that His tells are getting harder to pick!

englishcat on July 23, 2005

englishcat you say you beat howard 80% of the time and the reason you dont play at the world series of poker is because you dont want to take there money BULL SHIT howard can baet you any day and and you have to be mean to play poker ok pussy you just make up these thing up AND howard can tell what cards you have in a second and he dont need to ask you what to do when he has a good hand so stop lieing englishcat

Hmph the above post wasnt written by me...update Howard phoned this morning and asked me to fly over for a home game with him and Annie and Annies husband..I said "Would be great Howard when shall I come?"..he said "Come next week Cat U can stay at mine and we can sit up all night playing poker drinking beer and Talking"..I said "I shall book the flights Howard"..Itll be great seeing Howard again..we havent seen each other for a few weeks now..of course we keep in contact via the phone and email but it isnt the same as seeing your friend in person!

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.

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!

englishcat on July 8, 2005

I am a good friend of englishcat, and I want you guys to know that he is not making this stuff up. I have actually been with him during a couple of these stories.

englishgerbil on July 7, 2005

I'm looking for a good online poker spot. Not a fan of partypoker or pokerstars. Any other good ones? I'm looking for a site that offers cash games and tournaments and also has reliable payouts. All suggestions will be appreicated.

Need Some Help on July 6, 2005

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!

englishcat on July 6, 2005

"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.

JetsFan315 on July 6, 2005

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!

Howard is a top man and his sister is well cute. Banged her once over the hood of a 58 cadillac and she fucking loved it.

James I do know most players..theyre all my friends..lucky u wizard..I adore Annie..away from the poker table shes so funny..I recall I was round there for dinner once and her husband dropped the washing up..she said "George dont kill the plates"..so funny :)

englishcat on July 4, 2005

???? Englishcat you're on every players page saying u know them or had dinner with them. This is a little pathetic don't u think?

ANNIE DUKES BETTER on May 25, 2005

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.

Dirk Diggler on May 23, 2005

This guy plays tighter than a dick's hat band. I would probably take it easy on him though because he seems like a nice guy. He could probably crush me as well, so I would not want to piss him off too badly.

loser on May 8, 2005

Sorry, but this guy bores the f*ck out of me.

PokerRookie on May 3, 2005

My Favourite Player... AWESOME!!! ad thats a ""no brainer".... much like half the people commenting about him here.

-NUGZ- on May 2, 2005

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.

silentcold on April 21, 2005

fine player plz keep it up.I love your style of play.

woks maraoke66 on April 19, 2005

funny story about howard..we played in london while he was here..anyways i was raising him and taking his money..he had a few chips left and got his cards...anyway i said just as he looked at his cards "howard your sister is good in bed" he went all in with 7 3 lol...i had queen king and called and of course won.afterwards he shook my hand and said "thanks for the lesson"

That would explain a few things.Go back to the $2 max no limit tables on Planet Poker and cherish that moment every night when you look at that favorite picture of yours.You know, the picture you have of Dutch Boyd and the Crew, that you cut your own picture out and fit it in between Dutch and Scotty Fishman? Yeah. Enjoy. Scary how well I know you, huh.

iveyfan05 on March 7, 2005

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. ;)

Nuts2callU on March 4, 2005

i love the way u claim to know how i play.....you havent a clue...i can post anything i want about anyone i want, as this is america ...im sure if you read things that others have posted mine are at least more respectful in their critique...if you don't agree, dont read....you are trying to win a pissing contest on the internet,,all in all very very sad lol...checking this site , like every 15 minutes waiting for my reply so you can respond.....very sad....so go back to 4 tabling ,wriiting your essay,playing video games ,as you care so little about what i say , that you feel the need to post an essay in response to me....i willl say you have defeated me,,,i give..you are the best poker player in the world and i will now say every play on this site is the greatest....you are the god of .50/1.00.....i surrender to your infinite wisdom...i am indeed frightened of your tying ability and your wordmanship...you have humbled me deeply.....i now hang my head in shame as i prepare to start my day...continuing this argument is as pointless as richard simmons asking a woman out for a date...

iveyfan05 on March 4, 2005

I'm sorry, did you just say something?

Nuts2callU to IVEYFAN on March 4, 2005

Oh it's you (unpauses video game). So I see you've come to your senses and surrendered..hmmm..very noble of you. I must say I was a little hard on you the past few days..I guess I kind of took you under my wing but you've definately come a long way. I can remember (cloud appears above head) like...two..days ago this time you were just a cocky kid, oblivious of the potential you would one day posess. Well everybody you've heard it, Iveyfan has surrendered and has decided to change. And he did it in a respectful manner. For that he should be applauded. (crowd falls silent). I said for that he should be applauded!!(5 seconds of silence passes before guy B in crowd looks to guy C and says "wanna grab a bite to eat?" guy C responds with "Sure. I heard El Polo Loco has great taquitas") Ahem..anyway. I'm proud of you Iveyfan. Peace will once again sing it's song in the halls of this forum. Don't ever be afraid to come to me for advice. I..I...love you Iveyfan. PS- would you please look at the board harder before pushing all of your chips in with the sucker end of a strait...someone could have a higher strait ya know. Sheesh!

Nuts2callU to IVEYFAN on March 4, 2005

you have never watched my play,so why do you pretend to have?

iveyfan05 on March 4, 2005

I'm still waiting for your rebuttle Mr. IVEYFAN. I made a post on Feb 13 for the sole purpose of humiliating you. I love confrontation especially when it is with an arrogant seventh grader who thinks of post ideas for this site in his freetime (also known as homeroom). 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 just now read youre "5 star post lmao...first of all if you read my post correctly, i said i do think howard is a genuis....i have not unfairly critisized anybody...i state my opinion ,if you don't like it, feel free to disagree...i love the way you make assumptions about my game and the limits i play, and are insulting much like a 6th grader,,,you seem to take great pride in arguing over the internet...says alot about how petty and small you are...as far as not posting here anymore , it would take more than a jerk like you to stop me...i dont any "5 star " comebacks , i got rid of them after i left middle school... " one finger type" lol...you are such a moron if you think that would bother me lmao...you really need to get a life...do you sit around the house all day thinking of ways to win internet arguments lol??

LUVLEDERER on March 1, 2005

Flush80 thats probalbly the only place you get your poker info from is tv poker. He is the Professor he's not marcel luske! hes analytical. he makes good bank. he's solid. sorry if he's not Greg Raymer or Josh Arieh (who your probably a fan of flush80 you fucking moron) but he is good. you cant deny it.

kgb1986 on February 17, 2005

since when is greg raymer considered mr.personality? id rather have a conversation with a doorknob than greg..oh wait,,,same diffrence

flush80 on February 13, 2005

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!

Nuts2callU on February 12, 2005

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

iveyfan05 on February 7, 2005

I thought his nickname was the teacher, being heÂ´s such an intellectual and stuff. Why not call him the Oppenheimer of AceÂ´s.

yeah u 2 on February 4, 2005

THE PROFFESSER!!!he got this nickname for a reason people, there may be plenty of players who may be better in some aspects of poker..... but none play as intelligently and analytically

lance/jparnell on February 3, 2005

howard's a great player..however, i feel he sometimes thinks too much at the table...what i mean is he overthinks his moves sometimes...hes a math guy,,some play by feel like daniel... something tells me that if he loostened up 5 % he would be unstoppable with his tight table image

iveyfan05 on January 30, 2005

i love watching this guy play. you can tell he really thinks about the game. watching him play has made me a better player because i too think about the game away from the table, especially when i get outdrawn. i particularly like his theories on "staying in the moment", a form of buddhism that allows you to control your emotions and focus in important situations. Truly the most knowledgeable and insightful player in the game today.

Laurie /Shamesu /laurie301 on January 8, 2005

Howard and his sister Annie remind me of Richard and Karen Carpenter.I dont know why though!?

the carpenters on December 21, 2004

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.

mje on December 11, 2004

Actually he has made quite a few final tables. Maybe you meant for the world series of poker, which he hasn't made one recently, but back in the 80's or something, he did make a world series final table. Get your facts straight.

Brenda on November 29, 2004

like i meant to say a final table at a wsop event in over a decade..he gets tv airplay without doing much in tourney play..im not saying he isnt a good player, he obviously is,but ppl calling him the great and the best ,,its not justified..so far hes best known for his beat beat to doyle on o4s wsop...other than thats hes known as annie dukes brother...how terrible is that...i think hes a good player, but not a great one...

djnpa_30 on November 29, 2004

howrds a great player,that being said he does bust out early of all the tourneys..hasnt made a final table apearance , and didnt make the final two in the tournament of champions..hs a great player that has gotten more credit than he deserves by being on tv 24/7..

djnpa_30 on November 28, 2004

hey dude he taught annie duke how to play

hey dude on November 22, 2004

I like it when men the master asked him to "pushm in", howard goes, "you want me to pushm in" "okay ill pushm in" and men shows howards his pocket aces ......PRICELESS

poker buff on November 16, 2004

I like Howard. He's a class act at the table. But, I almost think he is a better TV analyst then player. Much of what he advises for players he is commenting on, he doesn't follow when he plays.

slvsc2 on November 16, 2004

when was the last time he made a finale table? if you can't remember, there is a reason. He has only made 5 finale tables in 22 years. Where is his wsop braclets at? oops he doesn't have any for Texas Holem. He is a washed up has been. Please don't make us watch him on tv. Let us see the real players play poker.

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.

splat on July 2, 2004

He is a dominet player. And all of you who read poker books will never be as good or better than the player who does not.

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!

Wow, I never realized Howard had so many fans out there. That be bangin! It's good to see!Sammers (Lederer family member)

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.

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.

cptg on May 12, 2004

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 am trying to reach Howard for private lessons for a dear friend. Any ideas how I could reach him to dicuss this proposition?

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.

Cheating, lying, dishonest, scum bag. None of the pros trust this guy.

Unregistered on March 25, 2004

This guy has one of the most uncomfortable stares out there. Great player

brill on March 24, 2004

The Professor is by far my most favorite to watcg. Howard be the pimp fo sho with his powerful poker essence, and power player reads.

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

I'd rather be broke then have this guys high school life. Great story, Fat Kid gets Rich and Slim.

Ledererer Player Hater on February 29, 2004

See you on the boat.

HiStacks on February 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....

Mulli21 on February 24, 2004

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.

civil66 on February 23, 2004

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

15 year old poker prodigy ;) on February 14, 2004

Great player one of the best no doubt in my mind Exciting to watch never. But that isnt meant to take away from his ability in no way howard is top notch and always on top of his game in every aspect

poker king on February 13, 2004

he left college to become a chess player???? Is there money in that?

KC Kid on February 12, 2004

easily the best player today, at least for tourneys. the guy does not take a hand off, unlike most of us.

rookie on February 12, 2004

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!

Brenda on February 6, 2004

I like when Men The Master Mocked Howard in the world series of poker.

Kansas City Kid on February 6, 2004

Didja know that Howard used to weigh about 400lb. Fat guys rule at poker.

FYI on February 5, 2004

I'm trying to gain weight to make myself a better player

Kansas City Kid on February 5, 2004

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.

FSU1 on February 4, 2004

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!

Bubba on February 1, 2004

howard "reeks"of class a master technician that is a true gentleman

skip on January 26, 2004

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

Edward on January 23, 2004

He is an inspiring player to watch. You cannot help but fall in love with his play style.
