I get feelings for certain hands at certain times and they are normally hands i'd throw away in an instant.

Was playing in university the other day and got K-2os.. in early position was ready to press fold..then *BANG* i get this feeling..

It aint a feeling as tho u are going to flop four of a kind 2's or a full house..its more of a feeling that u shudn't fold this hand. Its like when some1 phones your house and u somehow know who it is b4 u answer the phone. (Hope some1 has that sense and its not just me).

Well i said to my mate check this hand i got a feeling.. i flopped 2 pair..called a pot sized bet..and turned a full house...beat some1 with K-Q (2 pair by the river).

Yesterday had J-8os in early position, i thought nah i dont think i should fold this hand...what ya know 2 pair on the flop...didn;t get any better than that but it was enuf to win the pot.


Any1 else get these "feelings" for a hand ? Or am i the only one with this "psychic power" ? :P

Home game last night, had a large all in and a call before it got around to me. me and my hooks had a feeling someone had aces and folded. lo and behold someone did have aces.. then again when the flop came there was another pair of hooks and a lady.

Just last night I had a feeling about a hand. 4h, 5h. I am always interested in seeing the flop on suited connectors, but I realized I was stupid and I couldn't play a 4-5, suited or not.

The flop came down 2-3-6 and the 3 and 6 were hearts. I would have flopped an outside straight flush draw with a straight. I would have won the hand. (I didn't end up drawing my straight flush)

Later that same night I got the same feeling about another hand, 8-5 suited, so I saw the flop. Nothing happened there.

I don't think feelings matter at all. I seem to get just as many feelings about good hands as bad hands.
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

I get that feeling sometimes but I still fold the hand. Playing in a homegame the other day I have Q5s and said to my buddy who was sitting out, "watch, these cards will hit." Then I folded. Sure enough I would have had my Queen high flush but I can't justify calling because of some "feeling." There have been other times when I've had that same "feeling" and just completely missed.
