Anytime you have your guard way up high on an opponent, he will feel it necessary to try and push himself away. This provides a great opportunity to "feed the triangle". Imagine that your hips are a Venus fly trap in this case. His wrist (which ever one) is the fly. Pull on his wrist, which should casue him to pull back. Once he pulls back, snap you legs open and smash (feed the wrist and arm, since they are connected) through your legs, then snap the legs back closed on the back of his neck. It is a quick and violent motion (element of suprise) just like the fly trap. You can now pull the head down and establish the triangle.
Work with this as a principle based technique and you will see the set-ups that start to develop.
Good luck.
