2 things
1. You make the most from each hand where you are ahead. No matter what that pot size u make the most money/chips from that hand
2. You lose the least possible when your hand is not the best. eg fold rags preflop, dont get committed to top pair etc.

On top of this you look to play a game that eventaully leads to a player making big bets on a hand that isnt the best. Hence the object of NLHE to me is to make your opponent believe he has the best hand, and make him bet like he has.
Success in NL games is not about making many independent correct decisions, but understanding and manipulating your opponents to make their incorrect decisions more expensive than yours.
