I prefer to pick my spots to semibluff when there is a large % of time my opponent will fold rather that having a large # of outs if he calls.

I just got done from my workout and I was thinking about this and I think it's bloody brillant so I'm quoting myself. 90% of the turn semi-bluff check raises are with openended straight flush 13+ out draws. They aren't necessarily favorable spots from a hand reading perspective. Here is a hand that I thought was brilliant. Played by a likely 2+2er against a slightly weak tighty.
