Default Odds vs. Gut Feeling

I have been doing my homework on Odds/Implied Odds. I am starting to get a
reasonable grasp on how to apply them. My question for you is this. There
have been times, where even though I am getting very good odds to call a
hand, I have the gut feeling I am beat. If I treat every session as "one
big session", I know that over the long run, it makes good poker sense to
call the raise because of the odds I am getting. But there have also been
times, where I have called because the odds were heavily in my favor and
have lost.

So my question is this. When do you listen to your head (odds) and when do
you listen to your gut (feeling)? I know enough to get "reads" on my
opponents before getting into any serious hands with them, I am not just
flying blind. Also, I am sticking mainly to Limit HE, .5/1 and lower.

Thx for any insight.
