I am confused on how you trap an All-In player?

I took drek's post to say he went all in pre-flop there fore there is no trap to be made.

Fair point -- I was inferring that this guy, who likes to be the table bully, occasionally does his all-in routine on the flop. If he's only just pushing preflop, then it's all about starting hand selection.

I still don't see how you can say to wait for the absolute nuts, though. But then your post goes on to say that you would gamble with a big pair, but not with AK. If the bully is the type to push AT or so, you certainly want to be in there with AK -- you may have him totally dominated, and you're no worse than 45% unless he has AA or KK (each half as likely as any other single pair).
