Well, in Harrington 2 Dan says you should avoid making this bet, and instead check behind. That is tournament play though, so I figure to adjust it to cash games you should make the play a little more often, but not too much.

I understand the difference between a semi-bluff and a bluff, but the thing is that in NL, semi-bluffs seem to be less powerful when the pot is small, as you can get yourself pot-committed when you didn't have to, especially if they already checked to you (and especially if they're expecting you to make the continuation bet when they checked).

Open to new thoughts on the matter, awaiting your replies guys.
