I'm really not sure if this is a good line or not. I've been looking for semi-bluff opportunities to add some depth to my game, but not sure if this is the right spot to fast play one. Any and all comments appreciated.

flat shove on turn??
this looks like a bluff or semi bluff which it is... im not sure if im doing this on a paired board though as a full house is possible and reduces your outs...

this is spewy, check/do something or just fire out a normal bet. anything but this.

Why spewy?
What do you think villain's range is here? As long as I'm not drawing near dead (3 hands in his range 99, TT, QQ), I take this down ~ 30% of the time, plus the 2% of the time the Ks comes. So I probably need him to fold about 50% of the time to make this +EV. He's not folding w/ QQ, TT, 99, KJ, AQ, KQ. I Doubt QJ is in his range after the 3b. But he's likely folding any lower suited connectors, KK, AA, 88, or any hand he was merely floating with.
