Against a LAG I would re-raise pre-flop. You are likely to get the action from him that you want.

A lot of people complain about suck outs, but this hand is a prime example of how to minimize the impact. A LAG could have a lot of hands here, including many that you are currently beating. However, a LAG is unlikely to have no piece of this flop. Even if you are winning on the flop, there are a lot of cards that can turn your hand into garbage by the river. My hand would probably head to the muck on the flop.

If you believe that your hand is likely to be good for a showdown, then I don't mind the way you played it. You want to keep your positional advantage for as long as possible. A flop re-raise is going to end the betting on the flop. Your opponent will either fold or go all in.
