To be clear, I would love to participate but I am not prepared to always play and I do not always really pay attention when I play.

SBR poker is a fun distraction that has some upsides and some good people to play poker with. That is why I play.

My lack of interest in the yearly challenge has nothing to do with the imagined manipulations Bobby notes.

Anybody who actually has read or thought about poker theory knows that what cards are shown down is only one small part of poker.

To be honest, I find myself falling prey to only thinking about my cards and not the players/situations I am playing but that is likely because I have not been paying attention too much.
