Personally, trapping players is something I like to do from time to time, although it is important not to do so too often, or with hands which can be easily outdrawn. There is one player I know who makes a habit of flat calling preflop when he has (A,A), and this is something I would not advise in almost any circumsance.

I say ‘almost’ because I did the exact same thing myself a few days ago, but only because the circumstances dictated it was right to. With two short stacks and the chipleader behind me and left to act, I knew the short stacks would likely push all in or fold their hands, and if they both folded, the chipleader might try and steal the pot. Because of the circumstances, I was in no great danger of having three or four plyers go to the flop, so it wasn’t an unreasonable play.

Mostly I would say that trapping multiple players is a bad idea, although different situations call for different plays. Assuming you have a strong hand when you are setting a trap the main points to remember are firstly, is your opponent an aggresive player who is likely to raise after your show of false weakness? And if they do, what sort of cards are dangerous to your hand, and might result in you allowing your opponent to make a stronger hand. If for instance, you have a set on a flop of (Kh,8c,9c) I would not advise trying to trap, because although your hand is strong, the wrong turn or river card could get you into deep trouble. So be careful when trapping, and try not to do it with mediocre hands in my opinion.
