Villan is LAG. 49 vpip 2.3 AF over 80 hands. Am I committed to calling this type of opponent down with KK or can I find a fold anywhere? Is capping preflop a good idea as well, or can I make more money smooth calling the reraise?

Definitely cap preflop against a LAG.

They will try and push you around postflop, so you want the pot big enough so you can call down profitably if things turn ugly.

I'd play it the same postflop. Lags are definitely capable of raising you on a draw or a queen or smaller pocket pair just trying to put pressure on you.

I wouldn't bet the river either.
