Unless you are familiar with an opponent's playing style, it's very hard to tell whether or not they might be laying a trap. This is one area where playing online is a disadvantage--you can't judge the other player's body language to see if you think he's laying a trap or just weak. So you just have to take a chance. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.
I think usually it takes a pretty savvy player to try to trap. I think at most of the low buy in mini tournaments, players won't try to go that route.
