If Howard Lederer Offered You Poker Lessons for free?

How would you feel? Would you take them? Yes he's a nit but do you think he can teach you anything valuable in poker?

He's probably ahead of the curve in the non-hold'em limit games.

LOL@ this thread.

Of course, anybody would take them. Doesn't mean you have to utilise everything that he teaches you, but it certainly woulodn't do any harm.

Re: If Howard Lederer Offered You Poker Lessons for free?

1) Yes I will take them.
2) Howard, it's just a marketing story.
and story telling is EV+ for fulltilt business.
3) I try to listen everybody in the poker world, hence not applying everything.
- Yes Howard may have many valuable things to teach enven if he's a puppet.

In before retarded $10 players fill the thread acting as though they're better than to be taking advice from Lederer.

I would be surprised if Howard wasn't better than atleast 95% of 2+2ers at poker and better than 75% of us at No Limit Hold'em.

Re: If Howard Lederer Offered You Poker Lessons for free?

Sure Lederer 'sucks' compared to the iveys and dwans and all the top guys who frequently play. That being said, he is far ahead of most people- ESPECIALLY NVG. He would have lots of good advise and his advise in limit games would probably be better than most of the available sources.
lol at nl10 nvg lifers thinking they are better than him.


So how many people here would want to play him at 8game or 7game???

Howard's Lesson:

2. Start a poker site and spend like .000001% of the cashflow on support.
3. ..
4. profit

You would be an idiot not to take free poker lessons off of someone who plays with guys like Ivey and Durrrr

Dont have to use all of his advice but there would be a few diamonds in the rough
