Anyone have an idea why Poland hadn't joined the 7 Years War?

Their elected King, Augustus III, had his Electorate of Saxony taken during a Prussian sneak attack (which started the war and outraged all of Europe).

The dysfunctional and divided government of Poland was basically a puppet of Russia and Austria (edit, accidently said Prussia)
, whom were Saxony's/Augustus III's allies.

Any ideas why Poland sat out a war where everyone around them was fighting on behalf of their King?:confused:

Thanks for any opinions/ideas/info.
