Default Alan Goerhing

I was just reading Howard Lederer's article on him:
http://www.howardlederer.com/howard-...-article8.html

I find it interesting that he is so successful playing almost entirely counter to what most good players would recommend:

-Slowplaying big pairs as a rule, rather than an exception
-2xBB raising preflop
-min-reraising preflop with very marginal hands
-generally keeping postflop bets small in relation to the pot

Obviously he's been successful playing this way, but is it really an effective strategy on it's own, or just a method for exploiting weaker players?
