I am aware that even in Omaha hi micro stakes one should not try too much bare ace bluffs, unless you can be sure that villain is able to fold. This is probably an even bigger problem in Omaha8 since there is most of the time a low draw too.
Villain is unknown, I only played a few hands with that guy.
As I caught the nut low on the turn I bet as a some kind of semi bluff and only got a call.
On the river having some kind of emergency hi I overbet the pot to defend against getting quartered and as suited aces are in my range too I thought villain would give me credit for the nutflush hi.
What do you think about playing that way?

When you bink the jack on the river this actually gives you a fair chunk of equity for high. If villain has another A2 you might actually have the best hand for high right now so I don't mind potting this river card.

I really would expect MP to bet the flop with A2 in position so I am confident you have the best low right now and agree with betting big on the river to try and get him to fold the best high hand.
