PLO8 - Checkraise bluff?

[Burdzthewurd]

UTG is weak, limps A5xx, will insta-push any nut low HU but will fold a nut low draw where he is drawing dead for high (say on a three-flush board as shown below). Weak bets have equalled weak hands.


Pot-limit Omaha Hi/Lo $10+$1 (real money)

It's not a bluff when you bet the best hand. A pair of fives was good.
No poker content here, a naked ace is a pretty standard bluff.

First of all, you should specify whether this is a tourney or a cash game. It makes a huge difference in some cases (although this isn't really one of them).

This play depends abotu 80% on whether you think your opponent is capable of folding a smaller flush/naked low draw in this spot, and 20% on whether you think your low draw is ahead for the low. In general, I would lean towards making this play when in doubt since you have a backdoor low.
