Why do poker players tap the table?

[Bigron]

There are various gestures and actions at a poker game that are difficult to comprehend for the poker player who is a novice. One of these is the propensity of players to tap the table during a round of poker. It is a good form of non-verbal communication but I think that as budding poker players, we should all be conversant with these mannerisms.

With that being said, why do poker players tap the table in the middle of a round?
