Quote: "Tournaments are fun and exciting to play, especially nowadays. I still see myself as one of the best tournament players out there when it comes down to the nitty gritty of it. Also, TV exposure is important to me for my other poker-related business."
Poker fans about Howard Lederer: "Howard Lederer certainly is an inspiring poker player to watch. You cannot help but fall in love with his playing style."
"Lederer is clearly overrated. It's nothing but a joke to watch him try to stare down the top poker players in the world! Lederer got so punk'd in the WSOP 2003 by Paul Darden." "'The Professor' is extremely intelligent and it's a joy to watch him play in limit Hold'em games. Lederer also adds elements of class and discipline to each and every poker tournament he enters. Keep up the good work Howard.
