effective value in poker

i've been studying expected value and all of the exemples are about coins or dices. I understand how to apply the formula in those exemples, but what about something more complexe like poker?

I think the amount you can win is the amount of money in the pot that is not yours.

And the amount of money you can lose is the amount of money in the pot that is yours, but what about your probability to win or lose?

I know my question is vague but i don't even know how to start thinking about applying ev in a complex game like poker so any exemple would be great to at least oriente my research

And note that i'm not a mathematician so i will need baby steps
