Instinct

Trust your instincts... ALWAYS trust your instincts... you have nothing but your instincts... no amount of pot-odds or luck will save you if you don't go with your instincts...
occasionally you will be wrong and you will lose... but so what... learn from your mistake and move-on... no one in this world is always right... the difference between the winners and the quitters is that the winners pick themselves up and do the same thing all over again with the same amount of confidence and conviction...
and yes, some people are born with better instincts and some have to work on it... but that's like everything else in life... at the end of the day, the winners are always from the group who continue to improve and challenge themselves... so do not let short-term emotions and setbacks dictate your attitude and confidence... live by the sword and die by the sword...
