In hindsight, I recognize this is a big question to answer and I’ll probably use hand analysis to get further clarity about this. But these posts are good starting points to consider as I experiment more with semi-bluffs.

Some points on the discussion so far though... when semi-bluffing, best outcome is still when villain folds (duh) but having more outs makes a call more palatable.  Also, position continues to matter... so obviously, being last to act is best. That said, if villain calls behind your raise, you can choose to do a check-raise semi-bluff... presumably if villain is observed to be aggressive post-flop and you want to keep the betting lead.

Now, something @fundiver199 wrote about not betting when there is no fold equity is presumably when you are up against a calling station (or if you are against a deep-stacked opponent?) and so it’s better to take the free draw rather than building the pot.

Anyway, it’s good to make sure I have the right things to consider when I am making the decision to to make the move.

Appreciate your answers for such a big question. Thanks!
