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