There's not enough information here to talk about postflop. 44/18/5 is nowhere near good enough a read to take a calldown strategy on a board like this with TPTK. If you knew he would fire on all streets as a bluff (or semibluff with a QT/KT/TT type hand or spades), this might be a viable strategy. If you don't know, you need to show some aggression and figure out where you are.

Show aggression? We can't even assume hes looser and more aggressive than most? How many hands before we can?

Anyhow I hate raising the flop because he will call with a ton of hands, some of which are drawing very live, some of which have me dominated, I think building the pot OOP here is just plain bad.

He'll call 9 times out of 10 on the flop and bet the turn when we check which leaves us folding most turns.

So check/call flop and lead turn. IMO, reads based on PT numbers are almost completely useless past the flop.

I like this line followed by a fold to raise and checkfold that river. I think PT numbers are very valuable if you use PA HUD. Seeing that a villain raised 25/40 flops that he's seen for instance is enough for me to assume he bets when checked to. Also, seeing a much lower turn number 8/30 tells me he slows down when his flop bets are called w/o a hand.
