The expected value of an action tells
you how big your profit or your losses will be on average for that
action. In poker, you can always find out which is the "right" action
by determining the EV of all possible actions and choosing the one with
the highest expected value. This article gives you more details on how to use the EV to make the correct decisions in FL Hold'em.
 FL: How does knowing the Expected Value (EV) help you?
Quote from the articles:
"You can calculate an exact EV by taking all possible outcomes in a
given situation into account. First, you ask yourself what can happen
and how much you would win or lose in each case. After that, you
determine the likelihood of each possible result actually taking place.
Then you multiply your possible winnings and losses by the probability
of that result taking place, and, finally, add up the results."

You've probably already heard of the notion of implied pot odds (or
implied odds) in a forum discussion or coaching. Implied odds are
modified pot odds that reflect the possibility of more money entering
the pot on later streets. Reverse implied odds are the odds of you losing more money due to continuing in a situation where you will only win a minimum but always lose the maximum.
FL: Implied odds & Reverse Implied odds
Quote from the articles:
"To make one thing clear: your assumptions about possible bets by your
opponents in the future streets are always speculative. You can be
