Fair enough. So it's study, study and more study, right?

I can fairly quickly estimate if a decision is + or - ev, but it's not going to be accurate. I let implied odds do the rest.

Having said that, I will spend time assessing these kind of hands, because it's these I seem to be having problems with.
You need to study. You don't make calculations at the table. Implied odds will primarily help you to make post flop decisions when stacks are deep enough. In tournaments, you are faced with more shallow stack decisions. Therefore, knowing when to call all ins or when to shove when short is very important.
