Played on Ignition last night. Don't know how much showdown value I have and I don't think I have enough 2 pairs to turn into bluffs. Thoughts? Still trying to figure out if this was terrible or not.

Not relevant to your question, but are you playing ignition HU cash? I can never find anyone on the 2 seat tables..

You think I can still do this on any other heart? or does the board pair give me enough value where I can bluff w this? (think I can make an exploitative case for it since I think a decent number of people won't check nut flushes enough)

Rarely happens for me.

(I also play poker less than I used to and when I do play >80% of my action is at PLO, so I'm not too familiar with the hunl landscape on Ignition)

Bluffing w no blockers there is really bad imo. Villian wouldn't have called 2 streets unless he had a good heart.
