The villain had been raising pre-flop with a huge range of hands and often made large bluffs post-flop. What do you think would be the best way to play this hand against a villain like this?

I think you can shove this hand pre quite comfortably. The button call is worrying only because you don't really want to go into a three way pot and he has put so many of his chips in already he might be tempted to call even if you and MP1 go all in, but you are ahead of his range. And you are certainly well ahead of MP1's range.

On the flop you played it fine. If you say he is taking stabs at flops a lot then even if we give him a semi respectable range where he has at least a ten, like JJ-TT,77,AJs-ATs,KJs-KTs,QTs+,J8s+,T9s,AJo-ATo,KJo-KTo,QTo+,J8o+,T9o, you have 54.3% equity which is almost enough to get it in, especially as he might fold some of his weaker tens. But we know he is bluffing here sometimes so that gives us some fold equity (or even straight up equity if he is a bit of a crazy player and he calls some of his bluffs gone wrong) making this a clear raise all in. I don't think you ever want to flat call here because you already have the equity on the flop and he might put you in a tough spot where you don't have the odds to call by bluffing the turn.

I would ask myself If I can lay this down if he takes a stab on the flop and button calls/folds. I would go all in instead of checking flop because I am never folding this against a LAG player. In worst scenario you`re up against set , but even then you have some outs.

I agree that with kind of hand need to shove preflop, but if you raised other pleople call your raise, on that flop i will bet about 400-500 becouse u dont have realy hand in that position and this will block your oponent to big raise if they dont have realy strong hand i think check/raise is fine on set or two pairs on the bourd when u realy know that o openent always beting on the flop and u dont wana them let buy cheap drows.. Becouse u checked and oponent bet 900 now u need fold ir shove with 34% to win that hand.
