if you're starting out and playing live, it can be pretty boring to sit there and fold 80% of your hands, so it can be pretty easy to drift off. but as long as you are sitting there, you might as well make the most of your time and pay attention, to the action, to the players, and try to play along. it will help you think about the game better, get better reads on your opponents and keep your mind sharp when you actually do play a hand.

dunno if that answered your question or not...

(though nobody folds anything to anybody so it's all moot anyways)
