I believe the rule says that is a balk, but also your judgement. If the runner wasn't bluffing, then balk.

So, at best you were 50% wrong.

I didn't think this was right but I read the rule and it says you can't throw to

The "making a play" thing is what leaves it up for interpretation

Under MLB rule 8.05(d) you were correct. I assume it's the same for LL.
