Fairly standard flush draw in EP

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?
