gut says yes, brain says no?
so, every other day or so, I get the strong urge to make a call that I should not make, for example: in a 5.50 sng on stars.
I'm sb, 56s, a few limpers, i complete. flop comes 9h 5h 6h, and it is checked around. next comes another heart, and a bet of about 540 or so is placed, and called before it comes back to me (i checked). easy fold, right? well I had a gut feeling that the 5 was coming. i coudl feel it. i folded after seriously considering for a while, and the 5 came on the river.
a few days before, I had a small pair, 5's again i think, and i limped. flop came with an A and a K, rainbow. a bet, and a raise to me. I said to myself "i'll hit the set" but didn't have the guts to call it. and the 5 came on the turn. set would have held up.
does anyone else get these plays that they can "feel" a card coming, or taht they should call with waht they think is a hand that is behind, without drawing odds? also, occasionally I'll get this feeling and limp with 3-6 offsuit and hit 2 pair or a full house.. I'm not saying i will alway limp with junk, but I get these gut feelings sometimes.. am I just imagining this, or does anyone else get these gut feelings as well?
or maybe I"m just crazy.

How many times do you get that feeling and miss. Going with a read on someone or outplaying them with garbage is one thing. Believing your psychic is totally different.
Stick to good poker.
word.
I rely on my gut for a read on a player or situation, not for playing "board bingo"
Beanie is correct (as usual) stick to good poker.

Nice comment. Why don't you read my whole post before shooting off your yap like that Mr. Monteroy?
It seems to happen to me an awful lot. 3 more times today. This week alone I would guess at 6-8 times. It is getting to be almost an insta fold when I see the smiling little cowboys.
They are fast becoming my most hated hand. I was so frustrated today that I even uninstalled PStars off my computer at work. Now that's pissed!."
As I said - best seller material
I am trying to stick to good poker. and I really realize that I'm not psychic, it's just frustrating that I get these urges and they hit.
but in all likelihood, it's probably just a mis-representation, as I wouldn't have paid attention to the times that it does miss. (though I don't get this feeling often, so feeling + miss = rare
