I raise this every time.

- there are 3 opponents who have already put in one bet each. You make your flush 1/3 of the time so even though you don't have the A you probably still like for this flop to get capped as long as nobody folds.

- You may get offered a free card on the turn if you raise. Sometimes you will take it (e.g. turn is a non-spade A) and sometimes you will bet (turn is a king).

- The raise disguises your draw a little bit. Opponents who do think but don't know about things such as pot equity will rather put you on something like QJ then a draw.

What if you get reraised and the other two fold out? Now your equity is out the window. By just calling you KNOW you're getting good equity on the bet.
