Yes often, I've listed a few of the reasons why below.
A large chunk of the skill in poker is fighting the effects of this boredom and coming up with ways to mitigate it.

Long stretches of folding – Mucking 70–80% of hands, which can feel like sitting on the sidelines
Predictable opponents – Facing the same nits or the same maniacs every session can remove the sense of challenge
Repetitive decision spots – Playing similar ranges and board textures over and over can start to feel mechanical
No meaningful pots – Whiffing flops or not getting action on big hands, it can feel like nothing’s happening
Excessive tanking – Players who take forever on every decision can drain momentum (You know who you are..)
Overly loose games – Poker turns into boring Bingo
Fatigue from long sessions – Even exciting games lose their spark if grinding for 8–12 hours straight
No personal stakes or goals – Not playing for meaningful money or working toward improvement, motivation fades
Bad beats – Losing big pots time after time when you were far ahead can be frustrating and sap the enjoyment out of the game
