Spoiler

SB showed A J and won $1.74 ($1.04 net)
Hero showed T Q and lost (-$0.70 net)

SB is a recreational player, 60/15 from 21 hands. Very passive postflop too.

The main reason why I posted this hand is because I am not sure if I should raise as a semibluff on the flop. I have straight and flush outs and an overcard and, if the villain flopped a pair, I am at least even-money against him. On one hand, I'd raise as a semibluff because when I hit gin I will win a big pot, but on the other hand, bluffing a recreational player is a bad idea to begin with.

I am hapilly raiseing flop and getting it in right there.
If they just call me I check back turn if not improved and hope for a good river.

Try to play your draws agressively, specially good draws like that.

On the flop you are probably the favorite, you have something like 53% equity against AA.

Raise on the flop and go all in if re raised, you still have good equity against sets (40%+).

I agree. With 15 outs you are favourite on the flop. As both players min bet and call, you have to be aggressive.
Do not mind getting it on the flop.
