I suspect there is a variation in approaches even among the top players. Some just ask themselves, "How does this situation compare with money play?" and then adjust their doubling/taking points up or down accordingly.

Others (most notably John O'Hagan) seem to be able to go through all necessary calculations with ease. I think this is something most people could do if they practiced enough. There are a lot of little tricks to make the process easier and often an approximate answer is sufficient.
