Trapping in poker

You weren't leveling in BQ were you?
In BQ, when people say stupid things, we take them seriously and try to put them right in a nice way.
If people assumed every question was a level, then we'd just get a load of troll responses instead of good helpful answers.
Leveling here is really lame, and undermines the usefulness of BQ.

Suppose you're in the BB and villain raises to 3x on the button. You have AA or KK. You "trap" the villain by flat calling with your AA rather than transparently reraising (its always AA when someone reraises from the BB. Occasionally you might see KK or even AK from a spewtard, but don't count on it).
Then, when the board comes T83 and you check to him, you smooth call his cbet. The turn comes a 6 and you raise and get it in with 97s, thus "trapping" your opponent into an attitude of wild overconfidence by doubling him up.
He will then spew both his and your (former) stack back to you later in the game, doubling your money.
