Default 25NL- Semi-bluff gets tricky, I\'m lost

Villain has $15.20, I cover. He limps UTG 5-handed, SB completes, I check my option in the BB with K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I've been playing pretty solid, not too crazy. This is the first semi-bluff I've made.

Flop is J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

SB checks, I check, UTG bets .50 into .75. SB folds and I decide to get tricky and raise to 1.5. He thinks for a long time and calls.

Turn is the 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

I tank and realize I'm not too sure what I'm beating that I can get value of without getting stacked here, so I check. He bets $3 pretty quickly and I call.

Hero checks?

I'm confused as to what you hold.

You have the almost nuts, what are you worried about? This is why you semi-bluff. You hit your hand, now go with it. The fact that he thinks so long on the flop probably means he has TPNK or two pair or something like that.

Bet the river for value.

What could he possibly felt that I'd get two streets of value from? The 10 of spades?

You have the 2nd nuts against a donkey. Good players don't limp UTG and sit with 60BB.

I would bet something like $6 (2/3 pot?) and call a push. The push would be like $4 more or something. He could show up with a set, 2pr, any flush, or maybe even TP because he sucks.
