Re: A set on 4-straight board
that's something I need to do more of too (doing this stuff to the players next to me).
But I've also done this to some guy across the table from me.
In 6-max it's common to just happen to have a lot of hands against some guy across the table from you (especially if he's 60/20'ish of course).
Lots of fun to put a move on the guy across the table from you after they start table-coaching and ranting-and-raving about how much you (or anyone else at the table for that matter) sucks.
When they are whining in the chat-box (or not even whining...but just took a couple of semi-beats...perhaps even showing the flopped 2-pair that someone cracked with their flush) there is a decent chance they are looking to put on some kind of play to take a pot with garbage.
(although I haven't investigated my success rate with this...it's more instinctual "that guy's semi-tilting. He's ready to try to steal a pot if I check to him').
but your way of focusing more on the players next to you might be best.
Seriously - I thought the 'inducing bluffs on the river' section in Weighing the Odds was pretty interesting stuff and recommend it.
