SB and BB were very loose aggressive betting into all kinds of draws and making pure bluffs all night (this hand happened after 3 hours of play). My image was semi-tight aggressive. My logic was their was range was very wide - over pair to the board (but less than JJ), top pair, made straight, small made flush, A or K flush draw, a set or nothing. I figured SB was deep enough to fold a better flush draw and the BB didn't have a better flush draw or else he would have just called. My image was tight enough that I thought they'd put me on a high flush and both fold. I figured if was called by a set, a straight, or a small flush, I'd have outs.

BB invested his half stack so he's serious. SB overbet the pot heavily.
I got the feeling we are behind right now, but i dont know if our draw is good.

I may be behind, but what I am way behind? A made higher flush, a straight flush (both of which check that flop all day every day) and a pair higher than jacks with a heart (unlikely based on preflop action). As I said, I don't think BB makes a minraise with a higher flush draw and even if he does, I'm slightly ahead of that.

I primarily thought I just had huge fold equity against these two because they hadn't seen me make an all-in bluff all night. And what where my other options? Calling would be setting myself up to get all in with the SB on the turn, which I didn't want and I thought folding with my perceived equity in the pot was also foolish.

they're not LAPs if they're being aggressive post flop all night. That makes them LAGS.

BB has half his stack in... you think he's on a complete bluff?

I don't like it. If you're behind you may be drawing nearly dead.

To me, LAP means "loose aggressive player", so I apologize if I'm using the wrong terminology.

I didn't put the BB on a complete bluff, but a vulnerable made hand. A hand that he could possibly fold if he thought he was drawing dead or near-dead and a hand that I would have outs against if he called. If he had pushed all-in, I would have folded because then I would have had had no fold-equity at all. Part of this decision was made because of my image. I didn't think they thought I was capable of pushing with less than a 10-high flush or so. Also, this player had been losing all night and had re bought twice by this point, so I didn't think he wanted to lose another big hand, thus increasing my fold equity.
