Does anybody know any good trapping techniques? There is always just to raise a lot when you get a good hand, but then people will fold. Are there any good strategies you use to generate a great trap?

By definition.. "raising a lot when you get a good hand" does not come with trapping.

Trapping would be slow playing, or successfully getting other players to think you're much weaker than you actually are and have them make a move @ you at which point you come over the top.

I see... but doing that you won't be getting the most out of your hand. Trapping is making the most out of a good hand, and if you make people think you have a weak hand, you'll have to just check and call, and you must just raise a lot on the river, but you wouldn't make maximum that way.

"Trapping is making the most out of a good hand"

Sounds like confusion between trapping and capitalizing.

"and if you make people think you have a weak hand, you'll have to just check and call, and you must just raise a lot on the river"

Not necessarily.

Mason is right, in the end most traps end up in all ins.
