No. If you just like to sit down and play cards, but don't find the nuts and bolts of the game, or the theories of what make a good play or player interesting, then poker isn't for you.
There are too many players that do enjoy studying the math, psychology and philosophy behind poker, for people who don't do this to be sucessful.
If you don't enjoy this aspect, you will never reach their level, no matter how many hours you put in at the table.
