Some players have spidey-senses, which tingle when they know they’re beat. Kristen Bicknell hears alarm bells.
Case in point:
It’s Day 2 of the Nottingham Millions. Facing an early position raise from Dara O’Kearney and button call, she decides to invest 2 of her 47 big blinds in a pair of fives. It’s the ideal set-mine situation.
The flop comes and Kristen checks. Dara also checks and the player on the button fires out a bet. Not wishing to spring her trap yet, Kristen calls, as does Dara.
