By definition, a LAG shouldn't be limping here. I take it he is more loose than aggressive. As an aside, open-limping in a shorthanded LHE game is a tell-tale sign that the player is either bad and/or inexperienced.

You have position. Bet the flop if he checks it to you. Hopefully, he'll just call and check the turn, in which case you can bet if the turn card helps you, or check behind if it doesn't (take a free card, hope the river helps you, and if not, perhaps induce a bluff from your opponent on 5th street...not that you should absolutely call a river bet in this spot). If you encounter resistance, fold (this assumes you haven't been helped along the way).

Really, though, KT isn't the kind of hand I feel compelled to show down, even against loose idiots. I am looking for help with this hand, and if I don't get it, I probably don't get to showdown unless my opponent fails to play back at me in some manner (i.e., either by betting into me, or raising me).
