Pretty standard. I like the play, most people will probably call with their low draw, every once in a while you will reraised, but you got outs.

Re: Semi-bluffing the turn
Would you still make this raise if there was one person left to act behind the hero? Or is it best to keep these kinds of semi-bluff raises to heads-up situations?

[/ QUOTE ] I think raising with 1 more to act behind you is ok, but more than 1 is probably a bad idea because the flop bet was too small. If 2 or more people called behind you they could have anything including a baby set or maybe all high cards and they aren’t going anywhere after the turn, they might even come over the top if they hit two pair, a straight wrap or maybe even a set of queens. |

Re: Semi-bluffing the turn
I think this raise is pretty standard, but I don't think it is much of a semibluff. I wouldn't be surprised if villain has only some kind of draw (probably low only, but he might have A34 although I would bring the pain with that holding if I were him) and is making blocking bets, although I have seen some weak players tread carefully with lower sets this way as well. Still, I think you are often against A3 with nothing else, so you are probably raising for value here.

That's a value bet, not a bluff....
