I would like to ask you . Do you have any ways to create traps during a game? I 'm trying to change the style of play from aggressive to careful with that no one catch me ^.^

However, this does not always work out .

A lot of great players recommend against tricky at the lower levels in poker, because often times the players aren't aggressive enough to walk into your traps... Or worse yet, they end up drawing out on you with all the free cards.

Slow play your big pocket pairs, AA,KK,QQ, u can set a trap from beginning and sometimes it could pay out really big,or go Ivey on them, play small cards when some one raises big preflop, if u hit u can take them out, and score lot of chips, but i recommend the second play only if u have big chip stack, dont trow away your stack and dont feed the fish`s :D

This is generally a bad idea. When you slow play AA,KK, or QQ you have a really high chance of someone calling you with something like J9s and connecting. That's always a preflop reraise. The only time you want to look weak is only when you have a premium hand postflop and you want to maximize profits. Most of the time when you plan to trap you only end up trapping yourself. If you're just getting started with Poker and playing the lowstakes, I recommend an honest game, you'll always get paid off. Getting tricky will get you caught.

The slow play is a kind of trap, or a good bluff is another kind of trap!:)

playing with agressive players slowplay can be a way that you win a lot of money, cuz they are playing with a big range hands... but be careful... lie is good way to win sometimes... if you bluff a lot they will know that you are bluffing...
