Disclosure: I play PLO 50 at the moment, and I've rarely played higher than PLO 200.
For this to be good, I think he'd have to be a real nit and multitabling enough that he's not paying very close attention, if I am correct in thinking that a hand that was good enough to call on the flop would be good enough to lead or check/raise the turn if it picked up a flush draw to go with whatever else you were already playing. If I were him, I'd have to assume you have something of quality, i.e. you're not floating him on the flop with two players live behind you. As played, I think your hand looks a lot like exactly what it is: a flopped broadway with nothing on the side, making it not good enough to raise with for fear of getting freerolled or flipping at best against something like top set plus a flush draw, then getting creative when the backdoor shows up. Still, I think it can be good if you're picking on the right nit and you don't make the play at every opportunity.
You might have had a winner, btw, if he had something like AA with spades, so this may be a decent unintentional two-way bet, sometimes folding out the same hand and sometimes getting a call from three aces. |

Yea I prob had the best hand but does he have a flush and call me enough so that it outweights the times I fold out a straight? I don't think he'll 3barrel bluff to often but obviously that should be weighted in too (depending on if I think I make money vs his bet or if I have to fold with some% equity vs his range) |

idk what the best play is but a couple of things I thougt about
if he has KT he's gonna have the nut blocker 1/3rd of the time, if you were bluffing spades instead it's much harder for him to have the nuts. Do you think he'll call you when he has a straight with the nut blocker or does he expect to you to do this with non-nut flushes?
Also he might expect to you to make this bluff the times you have the nut blocker which you're gonna have fairly often so that could make him more likely to call. |

Yea I'd bluff spades too but I think he'll have more spades then clubs. |

I agree with that Dusty, I think the club is better to bluff, but do you agree that from villain's perspective if you had something good enough to call with on the flop, then you have something good enough to lead or check/raise with on the turn if you also picked up a club draw, which means he should fade the possibility of you having a flush? Not that you can put him on that level of thought necessarily, which is why I say I think it's player-dependent. |
