Default trusting my instincts?

When I play at casinos, I usually have an advantage on reads of what type of player they are in the low-limits. Aggressive and whatever. I have the Hellmuth's tells dvd and caro's tells dvd. But here's the problem I'm having. After someone spikes trips or something, my instincts are telling I have a loser, but a lot of times I call because it is limit. A lot of times my instincts are correct on having a good hand but losing. Can anyone help me out? For example last night, a new player on the table limps in w 47 off suit. He's a young guy so I felt like he's loose and maybe aggressive. No really good reads because it was his 2nd hand, it was a kill pot. so I raised. and i raise w my 88 on the flop when he bets his 7s and he bets on the turn. My instincts told me I LOSING! but I still call and he was almost all in for 5 more chips.. Can someone help me throw those hands away when my instints are telling me I'm losing?

Keep track of the pot size. If the pot is small you'll feel a lot better about folding when your reads tell you to (and you won't be making as big a mistake if your instincts are off).
