Some are believers and others are not. To the poker atheists…this is how I always explain intuition. It is the first feeling or thought you have when you see your hand. For example, you look down to see you have been dealt pocket aces. Someone born with good intuition feels one of two things:
A. This is going to be really expensive.
B. Aces, awesome, let’s go!
Certainly I am not talking about playing 58 under the gun because you have a \”feeling.\” That would be like doubling down on a 19 with a dealer showing a 7. I mean when you are playing in the zone and you pick up a hand that is easy to play but your gut is giving you extra information.
As Linda Richman would say \”Talk amongst yourselves.\”
