Instinct vs. Reality (NYSE:TTWO)

One of my best PA trades this year has been Take Two. I bought back in August ~$147 not because the numbers made sense, but because I think Grand Theft Auto VI will be huge. When I ran the numbers in my analysis, even if it was the biggest console game of all time, my valuation was still well below my entry price. 

Sometimes you have to go with your gut and this time it worked out. I'm wondering whether or not those in SM/MM seats ever trade on this type of "instinct" and how this can be communicated to your PM?
