Default Good spot for a semibluff?

I didn't have a very good read on villain at this point, but he was fairly aggressive and most likely saw me as fairly tight. On the flop, if I get another caller or two, I'm getting decent immediate odds for my 12-outer. I'm drawing to both the nut flush and nut straight so its not a bad thing if people stick around to give me good odds. Once I get to the turn headsup, I felt the checkraise was the way to go because it has good folding equity without being a mssive overbet (and without putting me in the position of having to make any decisions on the river). Heck, I might've even been ahead....

I think you represent the straight reasonably well, and still have outs if called. I might have folded this turn though given how you played it. Did you give any thought to leading out on the flop?

i like it seeing that he didnt raise preflop and like u said the c/r gives the most fold equity in this spot. i think u r ahead a good amount of the time here and if u r not u have more than enough outs to make this +EV NH.

Unless he puts you on a oddly played 22 he can't fold AJ or KJ, hes possibly folding KQ (KT?!)

I don't like the range your up against on the turn when he bets pot again, has he been doing this often with draws?

Will he give you credit for QT?

this is not an odd way to play a set of two's, infact it very standard for some players

this kind of aggression will often take the pot down right there, plus i like the number of outs you have.
