It can be an excellent trap in bullet and hyper bullet, but sometimes your opponent will spot it and you have to try to win while a piece down. It's best deployed when you see your opponent is premoving their opening. I don't recommend trying it in blitz, however I have caught a couple of people with it.
This reminds me of ancient Correspondence games played decades before, where the moves were sent by letters, so that many games lasted several months. After 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 some black players offered the 'premove' 3... Bg7 as answer to 'everything that White plays' in his third move. And this offer couldn't be taken back after the letter has been sent away by the post office...
Why is this considered a trap? And why are all your opponents resigning after that move?
@watermelonbiscuit : 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Bh6?? Bg7???* 4.Bxg7 Nf6 5.Bxh8, and White has an extra Rook and extra Bishop. This is enough reason to resign such a game. *(this is the 'premove' often made by Black players who don't reckon with the blunder move 3.Bh6??.)

@PranavBobbySekhar Thank you for posting this video. As for myself, I don't know exactly how to post videos, and I'm too lazy to try it.
@philodendron68 Just send the Link.
A few decades ago a Chess Master was playing white against a very arrogant amateur. The game started 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6. The master took his Bishop and held it over c4, the amateur only smiled and said: ,,ah yes the italian game". The master held it further over b5 and again the amateur only grined and said: ,,A spanish game?". The master moved it further to a6. The amateur was baffled. He never saw this move (he ofcourse took the Bishop). The Master won and the amateur called for a revenge. The Master accepted, again played Ba6 and won once again.
