no, dont raise someone with a wide range who isnt raising you with a wide range.

Seems like this board is really bad for this. His calling range is set, QK, AQ so you don't have any outs for a semi-bluff. And since it's soooted you're probably gonna get called by those queens. QJ or QT probably doesn't play like this, although maybe if you've been out of line. I don't think this line is a semi-bluff very often for obvious reasons...he might show up with 8s9s or something like that I suppose, but that's still not good for you as it's calling a shove.

So air folds, rest of range calls.
