Default A high vs LAG

This guy is a complete LAG. I've seen him bluff numerous times.

PokerStars 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

Flop: (5.50 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, Button calls.

Turn: (5.75 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button calls.

River: (7.75 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 9.75 BB

I like how you played preflop and the river.

Is the flop 3bet needed? I mean, if the villian can easily bluff at stuff, I'd assume he's capable of semibluffing any club on the flop and won't fold until the river. If you think you can blow him off of air on the flop, fine. But would c-betting, then check/calling down be better if you don't plan on folding?

Why would you want to build a super huge pot with AK on that flop?

Your best bet might be to just check/call the whole way.

If you just check/call, do you not risk giving a free card with what is often the best hand?

It's often the case that the free card you will give up will also be a card that won't let you call down (ie, the 4-flush).

I would fold the river, but I'm a complete wuss regarding river play.

On a two suited board, i like villain betting the hand. I think this line is a little risky though with the three clubs.
