Re: Would You Try It? Live Shenanigans (long rambling post)
When playing live I don't think enough players take advantage of these spots to bluff a player based almost purely on psychology. If a player has announced he is going home soon or the next hand or whatever, if you can put in a big enough bet that if he calls and loses that he will go home a loser then it can be a great spot to bluff.
Conversely you don't want to be bluffing the guy that is already losing and has stated that he wants to go home soon. He is likely to stick his money in w/ any piece of the board, any draw, etc...ready for you send him home. I would value shove rivers much lighter vs someone like this also if appropriate.
