Making up your own story about a hand

I do not necessary believe in a sixth sense but I do believe in this. When it comes to gut reactions, I believe there is a natural order our body does when it cannot completely but something together. When our minds are only able to partially put together a picture it warns our body, gut reaction, that something is wrong but it cannot figure out what it is. I believe that this happens when you are playing poker. The issue is this we cannot always convince our conscious mind what are unconscious mind is trying to tell us. So we make up our own story in our mind to fit the reality we want to see. This has happened to me yesterday in a hand with a home game. We were playing pot limit colorado holdem, this is where each person is dealt the river card down to each player. It is a fun game if you have ever played it. It is folded down to me and I raise iwth A8 suited and big blind calls the flop comes AA5 he checks I bet and he calls. There are two dimaonds out there and I think me might have a flush draw. A queen comes next and I feel it in my bones that is not a good card for me. My mind flashes, hes got AQ, my gut is telling me the same thing. But I cannot convince myself that he has that hand. Although the story on the board is unfolding like he has AQ, I decide to make up my own story and assume he has the A but a low kicker and we will probably split the pot. I think it is a common problem when people are playing poker, making up their own story when the board and their gut is telling them different. By the way he did have AQ, like my gut was telling me.
