I have never been a big fan of trapping heads up because my belief is that your hand is only as good as the flop makes it and that if you have a monster you should raise and if the other player folds then thats ok and if he calls he is doing so from behind.
My belief was solidified on Friday night in a live tournament when in the BB I get KQo. The player in the small SB flat calls so I shove all-in and he insta-calls me and turns over AA. I said nice trap, well played.
The flop comes out 10 J A, he flopped a set but I flopped the straight and my straight help up. I then dominated the heads up from there and won the tournament.
While I know this was only one hand it serves notice to me that you should take blinds where you can.
Thoughts anyone.
