Against a lag I love 3 betting especially in the blinds and either cbetting or c/r the flop especially if he's been raising your blinds a lot.

depends on your game. building big pots out of position is high variance and not mandatory, though many will insist otherwise. Do it occassionally is my advice. Floating a LAG in position or 3betting in position is much more profitable imo.

I like raising these as well but it depends on how likely the LAG is to call and how good they play post-flop.
I prefer raising if they fold to three bets often. If they are liable to fire a couple of streets or even three barrel a k-high flop for example it's often a good play to just call and let them hang themselves imo.
