I don't hate it but it's not great. I'd just call and probably fold turn considering he's unlikely to get committed without a pair on the turn. Also he's utg so he's repping strength. As you said, pre is pretty bad unless blinds are fishy.

because he's 1/2 stack he will shove qq-aa for value (and sets if he has them) and probably call,check/call JJ and maybe TT for bluff catch, only fold 88-99 usually.

The semibluff bluff needs to work 56% of the time based on FE alone. If his preflop range is 55+, AQ+ you fold out 32 combos of ovecards and 49 combos of pairs/sets/SDs stay in, which is 40% of his range, plus our 36% equity when called, so this is a +EV bluff.

this is bad vs half stack UTG opener. If you dont feel comfortable stacking off on the flop, then you should not raise and bloat the pot in position. Just call and see his turn action.

fold preflop, as played call, with only 50 bbs i doubt he'll fold an overpair.
"This sure beats Super Mario Bros.!" is my ejaculation catch phrase.

This is assuming a 100% cbet though, which is a bad assumption.

His EP range is stronger and probably more likely to be cbet. If you don't think he cbets any non-pair hands then obviously just call, but if you leave out AQ of his cbetting range this is still a +EV bluff. You would have to assume he c/f all overs here for the bluff to be bad.
