see, this i completely agree with... i do trust my gut all the time,
especially when decisions require more information than i have...
and i generally do well... i understand the subconscious mind is
better at seeing patterns than the rational mind, and elevating its
findings to the conscious mind...

only once did i not trust my gut, and that resulted in a thorough
beating (mugging attempt -- notice i say "attempt")...

not if it was happy hour and there was food out...

then i'd be done...
