I never really get the limp/3-bet/5-bet shove kind of move like this. Should I be more worried about being trapped in this position?

Easy call to the push

Yes.

Then call.

Be more worried if the limp-reraise comes from early position. It is considered a fishy play, but is probably quite profitable to do with AA at a table seeing fishiness only (dude fish because he limped, can't possibly have a good hand) in the move.

I do not think SB just limps with a strong hand when everyone folds to him. Would be a weird spot to slowplay.

Limp/raise may be AA/KK, may be some trash...
You should worrie but you can call.

I would call pre too.. Limp/raise can indeed mean villain has KK+ but nowadays guys are using completing strategy more so good players will limp raise too and with a lot wider range.

I would say limp re raise is mostly a mtt/stt move. 100bb deep it never works because it makes your range so narrow that everybody thinks you have aces and nobody pays you.
Against that kind of move I would certainly not 4 bet, since it is almost always aces.

Some have started using completing strategy from SB. Meaning they will limp their whole range and have a limp/raise range too which has of course some bluffs in it. This is not very common yet at the lower limits and since this is NL2 I would say almost 100% sure that villain is just a fish and this move is very strong :)

On nl2 here we are facing a very stong KK+. We can face bluffs or weaker hands but this is very player dependant. Some will do this some don't.
For me it is safe to call the 3b.

As the others say, is safer to call the 3B, but I don´t dislike the push... some people are crazy at NL2
