This occured during the beggining of the end of a small downswing, & I liked it so just thought I'd share

If I were going to semibluff on the flop like that I would bet more. Anybody that bets 10 cents is going to call a 20 cent raise. The objective of the semi bluff is to get them to fold. Don't semi bluff an amount you know will most likely get called, it defeats the purpose.
