PF resteal goes a little wrong in the PS PF resteal goes a little wrong in the PS

The villain here has been very loose passive, limping a lot of pots OOP. The original raiser has been extremely LAG, he once had to show down an EP raise after having been priced in by a small AI raise and turned over J5o. Three questions: good move PF? What do you make of limper's call? What about flop bet?

Too early to try and pull off resteals imo, blinds are only 25/50. I'm waiting till antes kick in at least to start restealing. Also, you should be looking to resteal against more passive players, not LAG. I mean if an A comes on the flop after he calls your reraise are you gonna go to showdown if he keeps pushing you with a 10 kicker?

Also be careful about c-betting LAGs. C-betting is great against tight players because if they smooth or reraise you know your beat, with a LAG you really don't have a clue where you stand.

From the villians point of view, putting in that bet on the flop screams I don't have the K but I'm betting you don't either. The only thing that I think stops this guy from coming over the top with air is if he convinces himself you'll call with anything because your pot committed. As a whole, I think this is a poorly played hand.
