[B]1} To trap players into going OTT when you are in an early position, this allows you to then go OTT of them, maximising your winnings[/B]

Major problem with this strategy.. if say 3-5 limp in.. your hand has now gone down dramatically in winning(making your profits go poof). So trying to trap early, you are more than likely trapping yourself when limpers come in. A pre-flop raise would eliminate some or even all of the limpers. You want to chase out the rag players, not let them play those hands.

[B]2) To give away a particular image at the table is also another good one. If you are continously calling preflop with no hand then you are likely to get action on a regular basis that then gives you the opportunity to maximise your premium hands[/B]

Problem with this strategy is.. your wasting chips/money on hands when a premium hand does come along you can extract more chips from your opponent. You also won't be as short stacked when your premium hand gets cracked by a rag card player. You'll have chips/money still to play with when this happens.. yet you won't have chips/money to play with if you are continously calling hands pre-flop if that happens.
