What was your position, were you UTG?
What's the max buy in, is he under max? (more recs play below max than winning players, which tend to tighten their ranges up alil. If max is 1K he's more likely to have a big pair and adding in he's in the sb makes it easier to just flat pre.).
You have position, which would probably be the safest way to proceed, since if you raise now, you can't fold to a jam because too much of your stack would already be in the pot.
I've looked at people thinking they're tight recs and flat then later find out it's just a middle aged guy who likes to gamble with random junk hands, and I've raised young winning pro's with egos and they turn out to have aces but without knowing more, there's nothing wrong with flatting.
