If you're doing it right, yes.
This is the Beginner's Circle forum. No one here is doing it right (at least not often enough).

The notion of categorizing bets as value, bluff, or semi-bluff, is that it's an after-the-fact view of poker strategies.
It assumes the incomplete information is not relevant. It says, "Look, you had X, opponent had Y, and you either were or were not ahead when you made that bet."
The reality is that you can never know this when it matters. You only find out what Villain actually holds after all the decisions are over. It's not an insightful way of characterizing a bet to use post-analysis terminology when trying to educate someone on how to be good at betting.
It's much better to talk about ranges.
