Call preflop and call down unless an AKQ hits. You're not pushing him off anything, he's a lag. Like Entity said, capping won't help you against a player that aggressive.

yup. that's how i play it against a LAG.

i do take a little bit of exception to the idea that a LAG will never lay-down here.
If you have been reasonably tight it's POSSIBLE.
Even when I have been pretty loosey-goosey I've had LAG's who have some crazy flop cap-anything aggression....and then they'll fold to one bet on the turn or river.

Or I go into call-down mode with something marhinal thinking I'm probably beat...and they take a shot on the turn and I call...and we check-through the river...and my A-high beats their nut-low with no draws.


So SOME LAG's will actually fold somewhere in there....even after capping pre-flop.
But that's just picking a nit.

For this hand I'm not really digging the cap pre-flop at all.
