A site for the durrrr challenge quoted John Juanda with the follow regarding him not taking on Tom Dwan for his challenge...

[I]"All of these online kids spend 15 hours a day playing online on five or six tables ... They are thinking poker all of the time ... I can’t even play two tables; I have a hard time playing one. When I play online, I get distracted by phone calls, instant messages, and television. I’ll be watching TV at the same time, I’ll be eating, and I’ll be talking to my assistant..."[/I]

That really gives you a fantastic insight into the mindset of a notable and successful "old school casino poker pro" for online poker.  I'm kinda shocked to say the least.  If he thinks we're "playing 5 or even 6 tables" at once, lol, wtf would he say about BW 24-tabling?  I think his nose might fall off from pure shock.

I also love his personal auto-biography depicting himself as an apparent tool at an online poker table, only able to play 1 table at a time (keep in mind we're talking about a WSOP bracelet PRO not some novice to poker), and his laundry list of enjoyable distractions.  Next time you see Juanda at your table, he's probably eating a sandwich while talking to his assistant about the Lakers game they are watching at the same time.
