I understand your logic and your analysis, especially the detail on pot odds... how some bet correctly and some don't... the bigger question is... HOW THE HELL DO YOU FIGURE ALL OF THAT OUT IN 15 SECONDS?
Thanks for the kind comment and to answer the question: You don't. Not all of it - and not in 15 seconds. What you do is perform this type of analysis (or better, what I did here is still not complete and also flawed) in slow time - on the forum, asking advice, using your own hands or other peoples hands. When you are doing this you are developing your 'feel', and as you do more of it you will begin to remember these principles in a short-hand form that you can apply at the table when you have very limited time to think and act.
Incidentally, if you do want some thinking time I recommend playing only at slow tables if that is an option. PokerStars for instance has 'fast' tables and tables that are not fast - you get about 30 seconds to act if you steer clear of the fast table.
A related topic is session review - if you have 4 hours to play you should probably spend 2 hours playing and 2 hours reviewing your session, analyzing your hands and trying to determine if you made the right decisions - and definitely come to the forum if you do not know how to analyze a specific situation in a way that is helpful to you, or if you just can't come up with an answer you are comfortable with.
Been doing that for some time now, but just getting going in the cash area (see my operation for more details). Thanks for the advice, I just am trying to understand the 'feel' I guess... even with study it doesn't seem to come easy to me.
