I think is the result. Everyone wants to finish first for sure. Everyone have different goal but all direction is to finish first. Excep if you are a freeroll player and want to hold the record for giving bad beat lolll.
Making better decisions generally leads to better results. If you focus on making the correct decision more frequently you will (over the long run) have better results.
A player who always makes the right decisions can lose hands, games, even have a long period of losses, but in the long run, if he continues with a game without fissures, he will always end up making gains
What matters are the Results, but to get the best results you need to take the correct decisions, so decisions based on solid strategy will lead to the results all good Poker players want.
