Good semibluff? 100 nl

Villain is 25/22/3 over 200, pretty tricky aggro guy that I try to avoid but don't really care that much about because it's 100 NL. I'd called him down with midpair to his double barrel with an ace on the board a few hands ago, but there's no real prevous history, a few preflop 3 bets and all that good stuff. My notes say he is overly aggressive, and tries to buy too many pots, and I dunno how much FE I have here vs. his range. I expected him to double barrel most turns, especially with an ace on board, but I'm not sure if his range should be weighted towards hands that he would bet the turn for value or those that he would be double barreling with. Obviously I went with the latter. Did I make the right play?

i prefer calling, since he's not folding an Ace and if he doesn't have an Ace you are likely ahead, and you can't stand a push, and both your draws are hidden

it's not a bad raise though, just kind of hard to figure out what you're representing except exactly AT.... so also because you're not representing any sort of wide and realistic range of hands i call

AT, A5, A2, TT, 55, 22 can all play like this.

i think the semibluff is fine.

keik, you don't fold AJ-AK here?

I think this is ok, but I'd rather just call.

or any flopped 2 pair, straight, or set.

i like the turn raise. (im assuming its a push right?) solid players fold AJ-AK here a ton

fold flop, turn play is ok do some of the time for sure.

i hate theflop, Ace high boards are terrible to float on.

I like turn, but i like it more if u shove instead of 65.

Its good coz hes folding so many hands that beat you and when your called you have heaps of outs, also your probably playing 55/22 the same way.

wtf. wrong. the only reason a good aggro player should call (or shove) here is the fishy size of the raise. Did you even look at the flop texture/action? Unless op is a complete fish, getting it in here with a lone A is pretty awful.
