Default 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?

No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $2/$4
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $423.50
UTG+1: $443.85
CO: $400
Button: $441.50
SB: $393.10
Hero: $400

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises to $8</font>, CO folds, Button calls, SB folds, Hero calls.

Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($26, 3 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#cc0000">Button bets $16</font>, Hero calls, UTG+1 folds.

Turn: 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($58, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">Button bets $28</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $84</font>

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.
