What's the best road for the flop-play here? (A2s on Ao-9s-5s)

[House-Lion]

Table is fairly loose at party-poker 3/6 and not to aggressive with the ordinary mix of a few good players and several players that call to much. (This is why I have no problem limping in with A2s after one caller, any comments if this is not a good play if table is more aggressive?)

First I'm most interested in the pro and con to the various options for flop-plays. (raise or just call)

Then what to do on the turn if no flush and so on.

seems fine, you want the callers behind you on the turn so the call is right and the raise on the river is standard.

if you'd missed on the turn i assume you'd call, getting good enough odds, but you're not calling unimproved on the river. too much to expect you're ahead there.

Calling with A2s is obviously not the right move out of position if the table is more aggressive, but if you can usually limp to see if the flop gives you a draw its fine in these sorts of games.

is there more to this hand than there seems? because it looks like fine 3/6 play to me

I'm considdering if a flop-raise is a good move?

You maybe get a underpair (who might catch) to fold and you still likely to be called 2 bets by hands you will beat if you hit your flush.
