If you were the EP guy could you fire on that river? I clearly don't have a made hand but could definitely have a combo/two pair hand which could easily be at the bottom of my calling range.

If I was thinking real clearly, wasn't distracted by other tables, and considered you a strong enough player to bluff here, then yes. It's pretty clear, if you think about it, that MP can't overcall with anything he wouldn't have bet already (at least if he's a typical PLO 50 player). Problem is, there are precious few hands with AK that I would call that flop with from EP.

The more I think of it, the more I think you can pull a bluff off here assuming you're confident that your opponents wouldn't be doing silly things like calling you down with top and bottom pair. I've been in positions like yours, but "deeper" (limped pot, so I had enough to bet turn and river) only to be called down by something like 2nd pair (and a gutshot).

You really want to be sure that neither EP or MP is a bored HE player.
