I've definitely found intuition to be valuable, in the sense that my own intuition has been correct more often than otherwise. But intuition is basically the result of my unconscious reasoning based on lots of past experience, so it absolutely has to be trained--it's worthless without that background. However, if I've made an important choice intuitively and it turns out right, I absolutely dig back into it and try to discover why it was the right choice in a rational fashion. Understanding that choice rationally lets me learn how to apply what I learned later, and sometimes helps me see second- and third-order effects which I can't see intuitively.
