Instincts

[RuleBritannia]

Played a hand last night where I was in BB with 3k chips and dealt 99, UTG had 9k chips and went AI. 7 players folded round to me. Blinds were 50/100, so plenty play left for me to be able to fold this hand and move on. I thought about it briefly and thought as UTG had lost 15k in 4 hands, and used timebank before deciding to go AI that he could very well be behind. I decided to trust my instinct here and called. Sure enough, he turns over 88 and although racing, Im reasonabely well ahead as I we have the same suits as well. Question is, how often do you trust your own instincts to call/shove? or because the maths dont add up for you, do you auto fold in similar situations?

Re: Instincts I go with my instincts 80% of the time (95% post flop), both online and live. I find if I dont I can sometimes start to dwell on it and make some sort of donk play later....thats not to say Im always right - im not evn usually right:)
