I think that you should bet bigger on the turn.
Now fd get a good prize to call.

I see two problems here.

1. With nuts you really shouldn't min check-raise, as it gives too good price for draws. If villain thinks about it, he might think that you're full of it. And there isn't room for raising much bigger here, or else villain might just call it down when river bullet would be too small.

2. My experience is that people are sometimes stubborn on PLO5 or PLO10, and don't like folding sets for example. There is not really a sample for villain, but if he is tight-ish and doesn't think about it too much, it might work.

Hey,

In this particular spot if i would like to bluff i prefer to donkbet than c/r. It is cheaper and imho same effective, and what is more it make perfect sense. With a straight here, I donk often turn, to protect a hand (tight player with set/fd might check back turn ), so when i play a hand with a bluff i need to play it the same exact way as made hand.
You got blockers to straight and some fd backup, so probably this is a good spot to bluff sometimes (however i am not sure yet which opponents are good to bluff)

Blocker bluff in PLO5 = -$$$

Just don't. Or do and learn the hard way. :)

If the opponent is a rare thing in PLO5 and blocker bluff works often enough, the problem is your stack sizes. Have to raise bigger OTT and then river bet becomes too small.
