What's your opinions of those online odds calculators? Are they accurate? If so, when would you reccomend using them, if at all?

I like to use them just to see how different hands match up. For me, it is more of a tool to learn the odds better. I never use them while actually playing.

Yeah, I only look at them to see just how bad the bad beat I just took actually was.

DM should have the answer to that. I have seen a few, but I can't remember where. They all work about the same. I have a pretty fair idea of all hands I consider a "coin flip", which for me is everything from about 45% and up. These are basically pre-flop hands I am willing to go all-in with and how big of a dog I would be in a worst case scenario. Once the flop hits, I just use str8 pot odds calcs, along with my knowledge of my opponents and theeir betting patterns.

When, if ever, do you go against the odds and maybe listen to your gut?

Well, I don't know if it's necessarily going with my gut, but if I have someone easily covered, sometimes I am willing to take the bottom half of the coin flip. Conversely, if I am shortstacked and feel this may be my best opportunity (cold cards for a while and blinds about to hit again, for example), then I'll gamble.

Mostly, it's situational. What kind of draw do I have? Did the person limp or min raise? Do I sense weakness? Do I think a large raise can move them off their hand? Etc., etc.

The one I used, back when I used to because I rarely do anymore is the one at cardplayer. Nowadays I try to just go to the next hand and forget it, knowing that I was a 93% favorite at the turn when we got allin just makes me sicker.
