I thought others would call behind as it was a loose passive table.

This is the reason you try for the free card.

Droolie,

If the table is really passive, how often will they bet the turn? How often are they betting made hands vs. drawing hands?

If they will bet the turn and the river the majority of the time, your relative position to the bettor (having EP trapped) leaves you in a great place to extract bets later in the hand. This needs to be considered in an analysis of a hand where you aren't gaining equity if anyone folds to your raise on the flop.

This isn't nearly as easy of a raise as everyone is making it out to be.
