bet turn?? we are like 13% to hit the nuts, and we probably wont have any other outs to a winning hand with 7 people in this pot
I forgot to qualify that with I wasn't any good at ring...

Betting the flop isn't getting many folds. You are not chasing any strong flush draws out, or retards who hit a piece of the flop. FE is minimal here, which is a critical part of semi-bluffing being +eV. As for semi-bluffing increasing implied odds on the latter streets, I don't know and didn't consider it.

Betting the turn with several checks, now you have more fold equity. Bigger pot, nothing invested on this street, no over card so no-one thinks they are better off now than on the flop.

So whatever, that was my stunted thought process...
