I wouldn't raise this OOP, especially against most low level players who are way too loose and passive.

Right , but you would raise this if they would fold often enough .

Against an habitual limper , it's so important that you occasionally throw in some raises oop .

agreed, i would say on average that most low stakes guys limp-call with too wide of a range for this to be very profitable though. if you have a read that they will fold to a 4 x bb raise oop its a great hand to do it with though.

I don't believe that this guys was going to fold.

JayShark, why would I bother if I am pretty sure that I could get a large part of his stack later in the hand if I hit? Deception seems pointless in this game, and I doubt that pot-size is going to effect his decisions. In fact, the way that this very flop came down, I would be more likely to screw up my post flop play, correct?

I agree that if deception is not important , then you should stick to the basics . What type of hands otf would you say he would raise with ?

[daveT]

This is the full hand. If I am say, 80% sure of my read, would it be OK to crai on the turn? Or is it better to just let him bluff?

if you are so sure that he is on a flush draw you will get SO much more value out of your hand by check/calling the turn and letting him bluff a non-spade river
