Gut instinct

While watching the Stinger high stakes vid from the CR 1000th he began talking about instinct and what it has meant to his game. I have been a huge advocate of gut instinct and this is a direct quote from that video.

"One major aspect to my poker game is just going with my gut instinct...Often in big pots i just go with my gut and try not to overthink it." 

How many times have you known the correct play yet you allowed yourself to convince yourself otherwise based on logic? Then you post the hand and others tell you based on logic that what your gut told you was incorrect. There is something to be said for instinct imo.

Seems okay if by gut instinct you really mean a feel for the hand based on history and game flow. But to just go with your gut as a general rule is a leak imo.
