I'm looking for ways to plug some holes in my game and I think this is one of them. I think I'm too LAGgy postflop in this type of situation.
Hypothetical situation:
Say you're in the CO and dealt AQo. Two loose limpers in front so you raise to limit the field. Button, SB and BB fold, and the two limpers call.
Flop comes 964r
now what?
What do you do if there's a bet?
What do you do if it's checked to you?
I know a lot of this falls into "it depends" but I'm looking for more general guidelines here.

What are the chances the limpers fold? When do they like to fold (flop/turn/river)? If you bet the flop how likely are you to get check/raised? After a flop bet, are they likely to check the turn to you too (slow play or check/raise) setting up a free river card?
The bottom line here is that you want to be trying to win this pot uncontested, draw cheap and/or take it to showdown cheap with your naked Ace.

I think this would be a raise for value, not to limit.

I would fire off a bet to keep the pressure on. Slow down on the turn if you don't improve. That's how I've been playing it lately. Sometimes they all lay down, and sometimes you improve on the turn.

Bit of both actually.
Your raising stronger hands in late position because better flops mean better pots.
Your also putting pressure on the blinds to fold the "any 2 cards" that they might have but want to call for 1/2 bet.
In a low limit game raising late position will not fold out someone who has open limped. (well occasionally, mabye 1 out of 100)
On a flop like this, against 2 opponents I'm probably going to bet out on the flop when they check it to me.
