I played this hand very strangely, starting out playing my hand for value, but then trying to react to my read on my opponent's hand. I'm torn on my line, because it's incredibly nonstandard and I hate it when I look at it but I feel like it's pretty unexploitable at the same time... what are your thoughts? Was this a good bluff, or did I essentially turn a hand with high value into 72o?
Background on Villian:
He is probably one of the better players that I know personally. He prides himself on his handreading abilities, and is more than capable of making the "big laydown" when he's sure he's behind. Tight opening range.
Hero has about 14.20 to start hand, Villian about 18$
Hero is SB with T/images/graemlins/heart.gif9/images/graemlins/heart.gif (7handed)
Folded to CO
Villian in CO raises to .30 (his standard raise)
Button folds,
Hero calls .25
Loose/passive player in BB calls .20
Flop: Q/images/graemlins/club.gifJ/images/graemlins/heart.gif3/images/graemlins/heart.gif (.90)
Hero bets .75
BB calls .75
Villian minraises to 1.50
I can't think of a single made hand that Villian would minraise into a 3/4pot bet/call with, so I put him on a better draw, maybe AhQh or AhKh. Generally, it's right to fold here, but I thought I'd take a more aggressive route: reraise to rep the set, and take it away from him on any non-heart turn.
Hero bets .75, BB calls .75, Villian raises to 1.50, Hero raises to 4.75, BB folds, Villian calls 3.25.

Given that I've repped the set on the turn, have outs if I'm wrong and he's got an overpair or trip queens, can I push this turn with positive expectation?
Edit: Go ahead and tell me I'm a moron if that's the case, because I feel like this might be really really bad.
