Re: 6/12 live, huge pot, this is what I did with my set.

reminder to anyone who thinks they are protecting their hand by raising the turn - you will make the pot 28:2, which is 16:1 - anyone who doesn't call is nuts because mathematically its the correct thing to do. But when the pot is large players get scared that they are making a huge commitment only to be dominated by a bigger hand - take advantage of their psychological mistake, thats why your raising here - you cant protect your hand mathematically but you can induce an error - and every call shows a profit in the long run.

good point.
sure, any straight draw is correct to call if you raise but a)that doesn't mean they will and b)it is less profitable for them if you pop it. less profitable for them means more money for you.
