I could be wrong, but I don't understand why PLO would be less nuanced when it comes to bluffing with air. In NL, there are spots on turn and river where you bluff with hands that unblock suits, or unblock floats and folds. I don't understand the argument why PLO would be inferior computationally.
One thing that I would see as simpler about PLO is many 3bet and 4bet pots often have a low enough SPR where the decision is kind of obvious compared to NL.
Because generally in PLO you prefer to be playing in pots where you are value-betting opponents who are stacking off with top and bottom pair, idiot ends of the straight, 8-high flushes and underfulls.
If I need to utilize a lot of bluffing in my PLO game then it's against opponents capable of finding folds, which means they're generally players thinking more than the fish I really want at the table who are stacking off light.
So yeah, I'll run naked ace bluffs or blocker bluffs against VERY specific opponents, but generally I don't want a table made up of those type of opponents, I want it made up of loose calling stations I can take to value-town
