It is +EV. It's not the most EV+. If you like to just push when you're behind, or even as a small favorite, with 0 fold equity then good luck to you. I don't know what limit you are playing but you will find that semi-bluffs do not work as well as advertised. It's good to read TOP, but not all of those concepts apply to beating fish at 25NL on Party. Personally i haven't found semi-bluffing in raised pots to be very effective even up to 200NL. Yes, it's a valuable skill, but pick your spots because the vast majority of people are not folding top pair in this spot, IMO.
