amok i can only speak for myself but basically: A2 is virtually never folding even if you raise turn.
you also risk raising out worse FD's while whipsawing yourself into better turned high hands.
so you're in a spot where you're drawing to the second low and unless you hit a club you're folding or in a rough spot OTR with a player to act behind you. or sometimes you do hit it and you chop anyway with A2.
as far as bluffs, blockers bluffs imo are often wishful thinking, at best in LO8. while yeah you do wanna be able to bluff, this is just a spot where a set or even a strong 2p is virtually never folding, let alone a straight. i don't really see it as a great bluff spot.
