Like I said, when I type in "$ cd ".wine/drive_c/Games/PokerStars"  all I get is tihs message.  "bash: cd: /home/user/.wine/fake_windows/programs: No such file or directory".

The $ is the prompt and should not be typed. It is shown to show you

Do not run anything wine-related as root...

directory)
