Instinct

[Gustavo]

Well , i would like to discuss , instinct . In my case lately ive been playing so much poker probably 50hours\week /images/graemlins/blush.gif , well in the end of this long sessions, my brain starts to shut off, and ill play just by instinct, funny thing is at the river countless times without doing a conscius effort to put people in the hand, maybe subconscious analyzing betting patterns?a random tought pop´s up and I put people in a exact hand , and at least 50% of the time i will guess the exact hand.

So my Question is How Important is Instinct .

Do i need some time off ? Yes Please lol

Dont play tired, hungry, sleepy, upset and so on.

Instinct is VERY important. I think when you have them its just the unconscious mind gathering all your experiences together for you and letting you come up with a decision.

I think its very important in NL poker. If the math is not right and the tells are not right thats all you got left.
