I've asked this some time ago and it didn't get any love, and since I'm still wondering, I need to ask.

Imagine you're OOP, and the pot is 2-3 handed. You called a pot size bet on the flop with a decent draw (like 8, 9 or 10 nut outs) and missed on the turn. The turn is not scary, and you suspect that after you check, the late position bettor will bet the pot w/ what looks like top two about 99% of the time.

Your hand does not really justify a big call, esp. if you think you can't get much implied odds if you hit (if he's a donk it's a different story since you could bet the whole pot on the river and get called).

So my question is: do you sometimes attempt a blocking bet (like 40% of the pot) to represent a something in this spot so villain get suspicious his hand might not be that good and therefore doesn't bluff or value bet by potting the turn, or do you think it's a total waste of $?

I am aware that in PLO most of the bluffing comes from LP after you check, and want to avoid or minimize this by not showing complete weakness, but often it's hard to lead into 2 people on the flop and even more on the turn when you have like 9 nut outs, so any suggestion is greatly appreciated, especially for a HU scenario.
