I had villain marked as a reg until I saw him limp and min 3bet 87s, since then he has done this frequently. V also bluffs post as pfr with complete air and will triple barrel mid pair type hands.
V also checked KK on 89x FD+SD possible flop. So, passive with something and aggro when has air or medium strength hands.

Vs this type villain, I've found that I make the most money by letting them hang themselves (I called him down with tpwk while he was bluffing, and he called off with his trap KK when I turned my flush and bet t and r). If he had shown that he is willing to stack off pre with the type of hands he min 3 bets with then I would 4 bet and call off a shove or just 4 bet shove, if that makes sense?
If I 4 bet he might fold, so I opted to flat with the chance of winning a bigger pot. Is this good reasoning or bad?
V bets big on the flop, but I've seen him do this with his medium strength hands as well as air. Do we call, raise, or should we now ask for a do over and 4 bet pre?

To me this approach is old and conservative. It's an expected approach even by nl2 aggro players. So i can propose you a newer approach. Counter his aggression with aggression and keep betting over and over into his face to induce raises out of him for more profit. If you manage to put him on a tilt it's a gold mine

Neither. It's incorrect. Making him fold is not that bad when you have AKo. When you 3bet or 4bet this hand you want to consider your FE as well

So more offence is a better defence vs these player types?

I'm doing a lot wrong with this hand...

Exactly! And more profitable. When you bet and he raises pots will be bigger on average. You must have the nerves playing big pots with marginal hands against these type of players.

All in all when he starts to jumps on your head you just slap him (with the back of your hand) and put him on his place.

PF I would 4bet ~2,5-3x
You have position, we want to have initiative to avoid getting into some awkward spots.

F I’m calling the large bet and consider raising if small bet.

Monotone boards are tricky because no one has a clear range advantage, which usually calls for small bets and pot controlling.
The reason for the call OTF, though, is exploitative: if we know he overbluffs we should keep him bluffing later streets. We would raise if we had evidence that he also overcalls.

Preflop I 4bet here. On flop vs this sizing opponent I call flop and see what happens on turn.

For sure. Off course on this particler flop raising is tricky. It's tough to get value and if you face a 3bet you need to fold. Also all hands you beating will fold.
