Default High blind hand against a LA player - Please Help!

Ok this is a $5 10 man sng on Ladbrokes. I can't find a hand converter for Ladbrokes (microgaming) so excuse my attempt to make it easier to read (changed the names of players). Does anyone know of a hand converter for Lads??

I know I have some holes in my game and thats why I am posting this particular hand.

Heres the hand and I will explain my thought process afterwards, ART is the LA Player:

- ART sitting in seat 2 with $7951.25
- gab sitting in seat 5 with $740.00
- hen sitting in seat 7 with $740.00
- Fis sitting in seat 9 with $1993.75
- HERO sitting in seat 10 with $3275.00 [Dealer]

ART posted the small blind - $100.00
gab posted the big blind - $200.00

** Dealing card to Hero: Queen [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] , Ace [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
hen folded
Fis folded
Hero raised - $800.00
ART raised - $1400.00
gab went all-in - $740.00
Hero called - $1400.00

** Dealing the flop: 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Ace [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
ART bet - $200.00
Hero went all-in - $1875.00
ART called - $1875.00
ART shows: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] , 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
gab shows: 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

** Dealing the turn: King [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

** Dealing the river: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
ART wins $2820.00 from the main pot
ART wins $7490.00 from side pot 1

Ok thought Process:

PREFLOP:
I am on the button against Big stack in SB who has shown to be LA, I thought about just calling this in against such a LA player but felt that the hand was too strong at this blind level to not raise, so I raise 4BB. This could be too high, but I know if I had a raised it 3BB and re0raises me I am still calling him. Anyway after Gab goes all in I have got 5 to 1 odds with a strong hand against a LA player and a short stack, so I call the reraise.

FLOP:
The flop is obviously dangerous with a potential flush, and my next move of all-in is perhaps the biggest mistake, but when ART only bets 200 into a 3740 pot, I felt like he didn't have the flush so with a pair of aces as backup maybe I could represent the flush and go all-in.

Anyway... did I get unlucky with him flop his set? should I have pushed all-in preflop (don't think so)? should I have just called his $200 postflop and then checked it down?

Please feel free to rip this apart, but please tell me your thought process, not just that its crap.

Cheers for your help
