Verb
To wager aggressively with a hand that has a moderate but unfavorable chance of winning in a showdown or with a drawing hand, with the intent of causing all opponents to fold but retaining the possibility of a win if a showdown does occur.
EXAMPLE: "I had a slight negative expected value on my opponent's raise, so I semi-bluffed with a reraise to try and steal the pot. My opponent called, but I made my straight on the river and won the hand."
