I really despise these stupid miniraise situations that I tend to see just about every hand at the 25NL and 50NL. Sometimes it means nuts other times it means air. Anyways, with that said do I 3 bet this (all in) or flat call and re-evaluate turn.

I considered myself to have 9 hearts - 2 aces - 4 4s totalling at 15 outs vs. a set. Even more outs vs. 2 pair (counterfit it) but only 7 outs to a made flush which seemed like a very likely holding.

I moved all in as a 'semi-bluff' i guess you could call it but do you think there's a better line?

I'd bet the full pot $3 on the flop and more again on the turn, as it is you could look like AK betting less than the pot both times. If minraised on the turn there I would lean towards pushing, you do have the Ah.

What are you semi bluffing? A set? Not a very likely holding...

I don't get it. You don't want to mislead your opponent? I think betting the pot both streets makes your hand way too obvious.

Anyway, I call and reevaluate the river here. Shoving basically just allows your opponent to play perfectly.

Well if you want him to think you have AK then that is fine, however I think if you play it strongly you may make your hand more obvious but that minraise on turn means you are against a strong hand not worried by an overpair.

Actually, thinking about it again, calling on the turn and seeing what falls on the river makes much more sense.
