The EV analysis Stacks did is a great way of looking at a hand post play and finding the optimum line. However, as you said, it's pretty hard to do on the fly. What you can do is to have a rough idea in your head when you play. This is not easy, and the only real way is to do lots of analysis yourself. After a while, you can just pull rough numbers off the top of your head.
This.
Plus, I can't emphasize enough the importance of session review. Plug some tough hands into Poker Stove. Post them here. Analyze what you did right and wrong on every street. Put players on ranges.
One of the things that happens when you've done this for awhile is that you start to see situations where you have already analyzed it and done the math and you know the right play. In other words, it isn't that good poker players are always sitting there at the table thinking "let's see, he puts money into the pot 20 percent of the time and raises 4 percent, so his range pre flop is TT-44, AQs-A2s, AQ-AT, KQ-KJ, KT, and JT, and now his flop bet is 2/3 of the pot, so that narrows his range and I have 42 percent equity against that range so I can call his flop bet as I am getting better pot odds than that".
Rather, they have been in this situation before, analyzed it, and know what the correct play is. It's more like "I remember this from that game I played at the Borgata, when a fish makes this play, my hand is good enough for a call".
But you only get to that point through session review and doing the math and posting your hands at FTR and other poker websites.
