As funny as this may perhaps sound, many poker players don’t know the basic object of the casino game which is to win cash by winning the pot, which has wagers produced by several players throughout the hand. Essentially a gambler wagers in hope that they have the improved hand,or gives the perception(bluffs) that they hold the improved hand and therefore persuades the other opponents to throw (fold)their hand in.
