Raising the turn on a semi-bluff seems reasonable, but it's scary to do it against an all-county player. I would usually wimp out and call down like you, or might raise the flop and bet the turn, with the desired effect of making him fold.

Raising the flop is going to be interpreted as a draw often enough for better Aces to call down, and paired hands to 3bet us IMO. Our best chance to fold him is on the turn, but I don't know how good a chance that actually is.

He doesnt know what you have, for all he knows you could have the nut straight.

Raising the flop usually means a small pair that needs protection and sometimes a draw. It doesnt mean he will calldown.
