deadmoney19 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Does anyone know what has happend to Howard Lederer. I saw him on poker after dark, but thats the only tourneys ive seen him in for a long time. I know he is not playing any WPT events, but still, It seems like he has fallen of the face of the poker earth. ( please try to refrain from making dumb jokes, I just want honest opinions)Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Orcasgt22 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 He makes more money running tilt then he does playin poker. Link to post Share on other sites
deadmoney19 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 He makes more money running tilt then he does playin poker.Still, the guy loves poker, wouldnt he just hire someone to do all that crap and play poker anyway? Link to post Share on other sites
Tiltinagain 973 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 He makes more money running tilt then he does playin poker.That'd be my guess as well Link to post Share on other sites
deadmoney19 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 That'd be my guess as wellI love the guys play, but when i was watching him on poker after dark he seemed a bit off his game. I think he should start playing more. ( I know this will come back to get me when he wins. but im just speculating) Link to post Share on other sites
Orcasgt22 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Still, the guy loves poker, wouldnt he just hire someone to do all that crap and play poker anyway?He plays on FT alot....ddoesn't that count? Link to post Share on other sites
deadmoney19 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 He plays on FT alot....ddoesn't that count?To be honest. I never see him on FT. What tables does he play. Even if he does, The majority of people that play there are donkeys anyway so he is not really sharpening his skills anyway. (at least not live action anyhow)ps. not disrespect to FT players. im just saying that most online players suck. including myself Link to post Share on other sites
Orcasgt22 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 look for table Howard Lederer. $1/$2 HORSE or some other 1/2 HORSE table. I see him their 2-3 times a week usally. Also playin in the FTOPS. He'll probably be in every event. Link to post Share on other sites

Also playin in the FTOPS. He'll probably be in every event.I didnt see him in the event tonight. And the 1/2 HORSE tables are for pure fun and to chat with the players. All im saying is it doesnt look like hes been playing any serious poker lately. 1/2 HORSE doesnt count as serious poker. For him Link to post Share on other sites
ROGUE06 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Still, the guy loves poker, wouldnt he just hire someone to do all that crap and play poker anyway?Why? You can still love poker and play it less. Many top notch pros such as Crandal Addington, Bobby Baldwin, and Lyle Berman play far less than before because their business involvements make them more money and are time consuming.

But it just seems like he has too much of a competitive spirit for him to do that. Link to post Share on other sites
Shizant 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 True. But it just seems like he has too much of a competitive spirit for him to do that.Why do you care what Howard Lederer does any ways??? He can do whatever the fuuck he feels like doing. Just because he's a public figure and a professional poker player doesn't mean he has to justify his life to anyone. If he feels like playing poker he will, if he feels like running FTP then he will, who cares! Live your own life, sheesh... Link to post Share on other sites

I think he should start playing more. ( I know this will come back to get me when he wins. but im just speculating)today he wasnt hitting flops and played that QJ v. T7 hand great against Kaplan, so I would doubt that hes a bit off his game Link to post Share on other sites

Doug 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Wasn't he hit by a bus or was the Gus Hansen? Link to post Share on other sites
Dogpatch 2 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Wasn't he hit by a bus or was the Gus Hansen?It happened to Gus first, but I think it has happened to Howard now as well.He did get mentioned at a live game last night. Some guy said "I play low suited connectors because Howard Lederer said...". It was kinda funny. Link to post Share on other sites
JaNnN 0 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Could'nt it just be that he was tired from the constant mediahype that comes with tourneypoker. Mabey the guy is grinding it out in low-key HS cashgames where he does'nt have to sign poker hats and cards and whatnot all the time.I don't blame him if he does that.
