What I tend to do is layer my traps. For example, on badwater I'll have a trap at each doorway, one near the cart and one on the walkway up. 12 stickies out and 2 to shoot into their spawn. They're traps in plain sight, but since you can have so many out you don't really need to baby any of them, even if a demo scatters them they'll remain in play, just waiting for someone to develop a false sense of security.

It makes me feel like I'm conducting an orchestra....of PAIN!

I actually saw SR being used well on dustbowl the other night. Last map, first point. Somebody had them scattered agaisnt the doors and waited for people to run out and then blew them as they tried to run back inside. Didnt see them at all. Good trick
