What's your strategy for managing pot odds & expected value in cash games?

[Scorpion Girl]

So when you are sitting at the table deciding whether to call a bet how do you actually think about pot odds and expected value?

Like do you do quick mental math on the spot or is it more intuitive after playing a lot? And how does that change depending on whether you're early position versus late position?

I don't calculate everything perfectly in my head anymore. After having enough sessions, plenty of decisions start feeling familiar to me. The maths still matters but experience helps you recognize the patterns faster.

Math never enters my mind on or off the tables smdh

It wouldn't change much from my tournament approach, to be honest. The only thing I would adjust is my preflop range by playing more suited hands and suited connectors. Pot control and extracting value are important skills, especially when you're chasing draws and trying to see a cheap turn or river.
