CO mucked and lost (-$0.14 net)

The hand I played against a reg who seems to be very competent for this stake (10 bb/100 from 7.9k hands) and which I think he adjusts to me: he 3bets me less than he does vs everyone (2% against me, 3% against everyone), if he is OOP, then he c/f everything if he is in a pot with me, etc. So, I decided to change repertoire a little and play a little trapping game, an example being this hand.

Yes, I know AA is a 3bet pre, but, as I said, I wanted to play a trapping game with him. As played, would you have shoved flop? Did I run into the top of his range, as it seems like?

Villain: 18/8, 2.9%% 3bet, 46% cbet OOP, call a cbet raise: 69%, Agg freq: 26/23/20 on the three streets. Everything from 7.9k hands.

You didn't write the most important stat- flod to 3 bet. If he is not folding that much you don't have to be so tricky.
Your postflop play is everything else but not a slowplay.
If you think he is going to call you with 2P+hands, it is ok.

Fold to 3bet: 41% overall, 50% from MP.

I would definately raise MP with a lot of hands here so i would always raise AA to balance unless a crazy shortstack is behind me and i expect him to squeeze.
edit: his fold to 3bet is crazy low, definately should 3bet it

Yeh snap 3b pre, & flop size is terrible. Just raise like 2.5x or smth.

I shoved OTF because there were many worse hands that could call: KK, JJ, AK (perhaps), AJ (perhaps). My opinion is that flopped straight is the top of the range he'd call in this spot.

Considering the probability BU and MP3, looking enough fishy, to join the hand + some of the blinds, I prefer to 3bet preflop.

50% fold to 3 bet gives us the full right to 3 bet AA all day long, and thus charging the other players still to play.
