$2/5 full table
UTG+2 Hero (covers)
BTN Villain (~$400)
Hero: I'm at a newly created table for about 30 minutes. I've raised preflop five or six times and taken it down with a cbet. I've already 3! once. I've had some decent cards and good flops. Even though I've played typical tight poker until I get a better read on the table, I might be seen as a bit of a LAG since I've been one of the more active players.
Villain: I hate it when people simply label a villain a 'bad LAG', but this guy is a bad LAG. He's played about 80% of hands, about half limp/call, half small raises. He bets with all his draws and top pairs. He chases any draw when someone bets into him. He's already shoved a few rivers, all of which I believe he hit his draw. He was called once and held a small flush to win (I believe 95s). His bet sizing is terrible on the flop and turn. He usually bets about 1/5-1/2 the pot, rarely more than $60 despite the size of the pot.
Table: Lots of limp/callers and small raises preflop. Most people are passively chasing draws and calling down with a pair. No one other than me has made large bets/raises pre or post flop. The notable exception is when villain has shoved.

H raises to $25, 2 callers, Villain calls. Four players to the flop.
Flop ($100) K
T8
H checks, 2 checks, V bets $40
(Terrible flop oop 4-way. I think the flop hits villains' preflop calling ranges pretty hard. The villains will call one or two streets with almost any draw, top pair, or second pair. I think a cbet works a very small % of the time. After villain bets, I see both remaining villains ready to fold. I decide to call since villain is most likely betting a draw.
Turn ($180) Q
H checks, V bets $75, H calls
I strongly considered a CRAI. Villain has about $250 behind. I think villain folds top pair because the flush/straight is obvious. He can probably fold two pair but might call with some. I think he calls with sets, straights, and flushes. I think he might call with a single A-high or J-high flush draw and fold the rest of his draws. I don't really know how he'll react to a c/r since I don't recall his bets getting raised. I don't think I get any better hands to fold. If he does have a made straight, flush, or set, I think he pays me off if I hit a boat/quads on the river. The IO is there so I decide the call.
River ($330) J
Hero?
Should check for a showdown, make a blocking bet, or shove as a bluff? I don't think villain bets with anything other than a flush and I can appropriately c/f. I think he can fold a straight or set if I shove. I think he'd call a shove with any heart. I have to admit when I made my turn decision to call that I didn't think about what I'd do if the 4th heart came. I planned to shove if the board paired and check if it didn't.
Comments on my thought process and all streets appreciated.
