This is a classic case where he won't fold a hand better than yours or call with a hand worse if you raise the river (even a min raise.)

This doesn't matter of course because you that think he hit his flush meaning that a raise doesn't make much sense.

You are getting 2:1 on your call here so if you are more than 66.6% confident in your read then you should fold here. Given the action I can easily see him turn over a hand that is not a flush more than 1/3 of the time so this is an easy call.

Furthermore, your call on the flop was a good one. You put him on a flush draw and thought that you had the best hand. For $30 there is no problem with smooth calling here to see how the hand develops. There would be little point in raising the flop because then you won't get value by call/calling and will have to play a marginal hand in an inflated pot if called (and a Known pro might very well call a raise and then lead out on the turn with his flush draw forcing you to fold.)

I would also raise preflop but see no problem with limping here some pct of the time.

How can calling the flop "because you put him on a flush draw" be correct, if youre still going to call the river bet even if the flush comes?

If he doesnt have a flush then he most likely has a king. If he doesnt have a king or a flush, then what is he betting that you can beat? A8? No way.
Calling this river bet makes no sense to me, but then maybe the logic is over my head.
