This flop is so dry that vs a LAG I might just call three streets, trying to get stacks in.

You think that you will call three streets, trying to get stacks in, but you are WA/WB? I can't reconcile those two ideas.

I think we're miles ahead of his range on the flop. He might have caught up on the turn, but letting him have another go at it for free is too generous, particularly since we're stacking off anyway.

I guess my point is that betting is generally a bad idea. If I bet here, he definitely calls with his better hands and sometimes folds his weaker hands. With position, though, I can just keep calling and letting him bluff at me with his better and his weaker hands. If the flop went bet-call and the turn was checked to me, I'd bet.

he might have been trying to trap turn with K8 or K2 unless that is too loose. other wise KQ KJ K10. would he reraise preflop with AK preflop? i prefer the snap call and why ask questions approach myself.
oh and unless you are limping to reraise with AK UTG and backed out why did you limp it UTG?

Eh, I've thought about it, and I guess there's a bunch of hands with 5 outs that we'd like to bet against on the turn.

I think postflop stats/ROI would be a better indicator of LAGginess than preflop. If anything, a true 27/22 would suggest to me that he would fold the flop to your raise with anything you beat. I could be completely wrong, but warning bells are pretty much going off in my head if I have any respect for the opponent at all.
