is this how poker is suppose to be played?

10person sitngo, 1st and 2nd place win $110, 3rd place gets $0. Villian has been aggressive with small raises preflop. Do you reraise here like I did, or smooth call to setup a trap?

you got sucked out. you were a dominating favorite. what else do you want to hear?

meh. come on, this is completely routine. In fact, I just lost one just like it -- A2 v AT, SB v BB, blinds 100/200, stacks ~1900/1800 she flat called, I pushed, she called and hit a 2 on the turn. It happens. About 29% of the time, in fact.

AK isn't a trapping hand. You miss the flop two thirds of the time. I only trap with AA, as even KK will see an A on the flop a fourth of the time.

Re-raising all in preflop is a trap?
