MP2 was loose and passive. BB was tight and passive.
Preflop calling with A4s in early position is probably debatable. The table was very passive though. I didn't raise my draw on the flop in EP since I wanted to draw as cheaply as possible.
On the turn the passive player in MP showed a lot of strength with a pot size bet. He almost certainly had a J and was fearful of the flush draw. The tight player in EP I had no idea what he might have when he called on the turn. I had 3:1 pot odds on the call and figured to make more on the river if I hit. I just needed to make up $5 for calling to be correct. I was also hoping that the EP caller might have a lower flush draw to pay me off with.
When I hit the flush I had no idea what to bet. It just seemed so obvious what my hand was. I put out a half pot bet and hoped they would call. Would a mere $5 have been a better bet?
