Howard Lederer Back Playing Poker

[Jam-Fly 8]

So during the week, Lederer was playing some 400-800$ mixed games in Vegas. He also entered (and re-entered!) the Bellagio's Festa al Lago.

 

Thoughts?

People should be lining up to get in whatever game he's playing in.

As long as the casinos allow him to play and they really can't stop him there isn't much other players can do except a few snide remarks if he's at the same table as they are.

 

He either is oblivious to the feelings of players who have money tied up at Tilt or he just doesn't care but for him to jump into a tournament where a large part of the field are Americans who have no clue when or if they will get their money from the DOJ that they had at Tilt is pretty baffling to me. It's different than playing a high limit game where he knows everybody.

 

Like Superjon said players should just take his money if they can. If they boycott when he's playing they will only be hurting themselves unless the mere fact of him playing makes them so upset that they wouldn't be able to play their best.

The thing that really gets me is that he seems to take no responsibility or feel any remorse for what has happened. Lord knows i have made some major mistakes in my past with my and others money, but I am the first to admit when I am wrong and try to make it right. I can't believe I used to have respect for this guy.

It's way too big for him to "make right" and he's so tied up legally, I doubt he can say anything.
