Worth semibluffing here or no?

20 full game. I know villain here is an 8/16 grinder and probably taking a shot because I've seen him at the casino often but never played with him in this game or seen him in it. The bit I've played 8/16 I would call him tight passive. I'm a sick and twisted human being so seeing him go broke on this table would bring me great joy. There is some random guy in the 8/16 that thinks I am a huge fish and because he is obviously a poker authority I would not be surprised if he told this to anyone that asks about how "good" the 40 game is in the early hours when we are playing shorthanded, so he might think I am a horrible player even though I've done nothing worth mentioning.

Villain seems to be playing more aggressive than the little I've seen of him, a leak that manifests itself when taking shots that has been mentioned here before. Each pot he loses seems to distress him mentally. I feed on his tears of sorrow and anguish because the quicker he goes broke playing this game the less likely I am to see him play 40.

I open K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the HJ, he 3bets the button, I call, HU pot.

If you don't check raise the flop, then you have to check raise the turn. I like this very much especially if you don't get 3-bet.

Sure, I like a c/r on the turn here, you need to decide how he's playing and what to do on the river. Most of the time I'll check/fold the river UI here.

He won't showdown UI high cards here for sure so if I decide to c/r here I definitely have to fire again to fold out hands with A or Q club that are ahead of me.
