Turning TP more or less into a bluff
 

I figure when villain bets the turn here, he's probably got overpair a good amt of time and with the backdoor flush there, I figure I'll semibluff it in hopes of getting him to fold a better hand.

good thinking? bad thinking process?

this can't really be the case because of preflop.

yhig most of the time on the turn, i think. your play looks to be a thin value raise.

It does look like a 7 so if you're opponent is smart he'll fold. I do think you have the best hand here though and I'd be more inclined to do this with air since your opponent can't have a strong enough hand to call this raise a lot of the time here (probably a 55 type hand). Moreover, it would be a disaster if your opponent in fact had a 7 and he bet you off it. If you hit your flush you could get paid off heaps since it's impossible to put you on. Without the flush draw I think raising is fine but with it I'd lean towards a straightforward call.

don't really see a need for this. he's bet less than half pot and you've got spades and nines as outs (and almost certainly queens) IF your hand isn't already good, which i believe it is most of the time given the action so far.
