20-40 hand, opinions requested

[I.Rowboat]

Nine handed 20-40 game. This hand played much more loosely than had been typical to this point.

EP tight, solid player (whose raises I typically respect) opens for a raise. Loose MP player (recent arrival) cold calls. I am in MP with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I can see that at least two players after me intend to call, so I call. CO calls, button calls, BB calls. Six players call two bets to see the flop.

Flop: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Solid players bets out, loose player calls, I call, and all other players call behind me (!)

Turn: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Solid players bets out, loose player calls, I call, and, somewhat remarkably, the remaining players call behind me (!!)

River: 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Solid players bets out, loose player calls, I raise, folded to solid player who calls. Loose player folds. I drag a very nice pot.

Question:

Would you have played this differently? I did not believe that anyone had a draw to a hand that could beat mine, so I opted to slow play my A-high flush.

Curious to know what others would have done given the same reported situation (apparent loose calls and lack of aggression other than by EP solid player).

TIA

I would raise the flop.

i think you should fold before the flop

I'd raise the flop to clean up my Ace from the buttons/COs holding of AK AQ AJ(?) and becoming last to act.

the smooth call on the turn was the right play - and the results definitly do not disagree with all those callers that came in behind you! nice hand.
