I am a solid player and I do not rely heavily on math.
I calculate odds and generally can think of pod odds without really thinking about them.
I play more on feel and reads. My reads are generally pretty solid and I play based on that.
Yes, Sorel Mizzi (zangbezan24 on pokerstars) is a pro who has had considerable success both live and online.I can't remember where but I read an article once in some poker mag or newsletter about this topic. It said what people refer to as intuition may not be all that different from playing as a mathematical player. If you seen a situation before that memory is stored in your unconscious. Eventually through repetition you'll get conditioned to make the optimal math play and it will seem instinctual.
