I think I have a read on villian. Is this a good time to semi-bluff?

Read on villian - a bit loose ~28-30 VP$IP. Very aggresive on the flop - Flop aggro 4.

Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+2 bets $10</font>, CO folds, Button folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $30</font>, BB folds, UTG+2 calls $63.36 (All-In), Hero calls $43.36.

I give villian credit for a weak K or weak Q, AT or AJ, KJ or KT. I discount AK/AQ given the limp.

I decide to represent KQ and reraise pot to chase the flush draw away. Given his stack size...this is a push regardless as I'm commited. Given that, I think I should have just pushed.

Bad time to semi-bluff? Should I pack the non-nut flush draw away and wait on better opportunities.

Turn: ($156.72) J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: ($156.72) 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: $156.72

I think I'm trying to make too many moves without enough skill to pull it off. Needless to say...my T high doesn't hold up.

don't semibluff in multiway pot with T high flush draw out of position.

horrible play without some type of combo draw...you need at least a pair+flushdraw or straight+flushdraw here...even just having a gutshot makes this much more +ev than not having one.
