Poker is a famous hand game which had its origin in roman era. This game was popular and is played by most of the people today. This game is not so easy and involves various strategies. All these strategies are simple and make a player win the game within less time; however there is one strategy which makes a player the leader. This strategy is called as trapping. Trapping makes a player put the opponent in tension and diverts him from the game. It makes the game more interesting. In order to be away from traps and play the game with a winning motive, one should first know the meaning of a trap. A trap is a play where the opponent having strong hand shows weakness and makes the other person play a hand. For example if the player has an ace high flush then he puts up small bet, looking on it the other players having still less hands think of making more bets and finally fall into the trap.

In order to set the trap perfectly each player should know the importance of a monster. A monster is not an over pair nor it is the top pair. It is a hand where player puts his hole cards saying that they are the weakest hands. A two pair is the weakest monster and it depends on the board having flush and straight possibilities. If a table is unpaired then the set monster comes into existence. For example if a player is holding J-7 and the board is reading K77 then the player has two straights. When these things are flopped then the result will be having monsters and they lead to full houses, straight flushes and quads.

When a player found a monster and is ready to trap the opponent then he should first think of the ruler of cards i.e. he should think or Ace existence. For example if a flop has put up ace into existence then the situation is perfect for trapping. In this situation the player has to put a strong bet when the ace comes into existence. This would be the bet for half of the pot. Sometimes most of the trappers check the  flop. This gives an extra boost to the poker player and gives him more chance in laying the trap. In order to make the trap more powerful each player should be straight forward.  Most of the times in such situations the opponents get trapped and wont come out of the situation but there will be some occasions where the player himself gets trapped. This situation occurs when the opponent is short stacked. The bet placed by the player can make his opponent to fold or go in. In this situation the player has to move ahead and check. This makes the opponent hang himself. When there is no way to act then the player should blindly follow the opponent.
