Default 10/20 hand vs super LAG

Villian has about 5K, down from about 10K. He's super LAG preflop, raising nearly every hand. 6-handed. Hero has about 2.5K.

Villian raises to $80 in MP2, Hero reraises to $200 from BB with AKs. Villian calls (typical).

Flop: A24 rainbow. Hero bets $375, villian calls.
Turn: 4. Hero checks, Villian pushes.

What do you do? Easy call? Do you pot the turn again and commit yourself? I figured he would push here with almost anything, as has been his tendency, but that he wouldn't call a big turn bet without a hand that beat me.

Standard?

Ok, AK. Yes, I would probably call this, but obviously you wouldn't post this if he had AQ and you won.

Turn check is standard for me.

By the way, youu don't say what his tendencies are postflop.

Post flop he has been decent. He's acquired his stack by calling with virtually any two and pushing when he hits, but he has also donked off half his stack by pushing at ANY sign of weakness. He's virtually impossible for me to read.

I actually won the hand (he had 24o, and I rivered an A) but find myself having trouble in these situations, and just wonder if anyone has the discipline to fold here. I'm more of a tournament player so I'm used to calling this all day, every day, but I wonder if some of you have the discipline to fold here and assume he's on 222 or something (I could still never put anyone on 24 here).

obvious call, preflop play is kinda ugly.

With AK based on the player you described I would say insta-call and well played (although you didnt really say if he was a maniac post-flop). If he has 22, 4x so be it. I think this hand would be more interesting if you had AQ (I was trying to guess your hand not his in my earlier post).

How would you play it? Raise more preflop? Or just call from bb? I usually try to keep the pot small with AK but against him it was just for value.
