First of all thanks to everyone for sharing your thoughts. The game I had in mind was a (micro-)Limit Holdem, I just thought the question to be generic enough.

Here you got me worried.
Yes, the reality is that it gets a little boring to me, but not playing, rather waiting for a hand worth playing. And in online game there's much less to watch during that time. Also with the low level of both myself and (at least some of) my opponents I'm not sure if I should be learning from them, or if they are just pressing the buttons randomly.
Does this really mean that I'm not wired right for this kind of a thing, or do others also feel this occasionally?
