[edit] "needler"

"Also, at the World Poker Tour Grand Prix de Paris 2003, Lederer refused to shake hands with notorious needler Tony Guoga when eliminated from the tournament." - what's a needler? --Dijxtra 16:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

To "needle" is to tease or berate or criticize opponents. A "needler" is someone who does that. 2005 21:15, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lawsuit

Lederer, and a few other players, (I can't recall all their names right now) recently filed suit against the WPT. Details are a bit vague so should this be added? If so, how? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.184.83.41 (talk • contribs)

Just link to Sherman Act Lawsuit. Essexmutant 07:39, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WSOP Bracelets

Most professional poker players have a little table showing their World Series of Poker bracelets (what/when they won). I'd like to see one for Lederer. I can't do it myself as I have no idea what bracelets he holds. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.231.219.17 (talk) 11:09, 8 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Chess talent?

I would suggest taking off the chess talent mentioning since Lederer was never chess talent. It's true that he dreamed about becoming chess professional but he was never even near the FIDE master (2300) or even Candidate master (2200) strength. Lederer's current USCF rating is 1951 which is "first class" player strength - far from being chess talent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.103.208.61 (talk) 16:46, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
