The problem is that he turns away from me as in reverse scarfhold. That switch of the hips effectively hides his leg from the arm I do have in the pocket (it is down by my hips), and with his weight on my upper body, I can't get any space to drive into him. Not to mention he is generally trying to kimura my "left behind" arm and/or put the other leg over into mount.

Sucks. On the positive side, I have been applying the same position from top half guard to others, and it really sucks for them too.
