There is 2 loose/passive limpers. I raise A

to $30. The btn calls. The 2 limpers call. Flop is A

. Pot is roughly $120. Everyone is full stacked. I know I want to bet for value to get called by {worse A's, flush draws, OESD's, pair of 8's} How much should I make my sizing on the flop?

If players are loose passive you can charge them near pot sized bets if you want.

The real question here is: are villains bad enough to stack off with combo draws.

Usually the answer will be yes.

So, bet $100ish on flop w the plan to shove all non-spade turns.

This really needs more details. How much do villain's like to chase flush draws is the key thing here. Exact stack sizes matter a bit also, is the max buy in $500 or $1000 or something else?

Given your villain descriptions, if stacks are around $500 then go $80-$100 and shove any non-spade turn. Deeper it depends on who calls and the exact turn card. My default plan is bet any non-spade card if I have on caller on flop, more then one is really situational depending on who called and what their ranges are.

Okay thanks!

Just sat down at the table really and I'm in the first orbit. Don't know too much about their tendencies yet. Max buy-in is $500

I'm betting 90-100. Some people have a mental block about a $100 bet so I might go 95.
