when do you allow your "internal warning" system take over???

[RainFall]

Look at the EV in this manner.

The amount of times you call here and are shown a set and are beat you are not too unhappy

The Tilt/Life tilt you go on from folding here and getting shown A5 even once in a dozen times is probably more -EV.

Call 100% of the time! What are you kidding?!?

if by "internal warning system" you mean a "feeling" that can not be empirically proven, meaning its not about the board or his stats or even betsizing/timing, i really wonder why anyone that plays poker seriously and makes money at it _has_ something like this.

I listen when it says call and I tell it to stfu when it says fold.

Exactly, since you never know if you're right when you fold.

If you don't think the human brain functions on a subconscious level - than YOU are idiotic.

Sigmund Freud on the subconscious:

an area of the mind one cannot be entirely aware of, but that still exerts some influence on one's thinking and actions.

[tozzy]

so you are arguing that what was named his "internal warning system" is nothing other than 'subconsciously' gathering information and making a read out of them?
if thats it, i think your all idiots for posting in this thread.

Obv. would never fold in game but can certainly relate to the feeling you're talking about. Big folds however should be preserved for donkaments and super deep cash games.

Oh come on! people read one post/sentence to judge an entire post. I SPECIFICALLY said in my first post that his bet-sizing/timing had lead me to CONsciously believe he was strong. But its absurd to discount your mind working on a subconscious level - that was also telling me he was strong... from things that I couldn't really describe in tangible terms in a post (such as game-flow the previous 30 minutes, how him and I had tangled in previous pots, etc., etc.,).

I really should never have posted this hand, or the fact the fact that I sometimes have a "gut feeling" that I am beat - in a way that is more than just: reading the board, assessing hand ranges, noting bet-sizes and computing pot odds. Sometimes your subconscious mind picks up on things that you do not consciously pick-up on, or can describe on "paper" when you post a hand on 2+2.
