My standard play on this river in the past has been to bet out about $15-20 or so to try and induce a crying call, but thinking about it, maybe that's been costing me money. Is this push a viable play (given zero read), or should I stick to my old plan and go for a smaller, more often called bet?

First orbit at the table, no reads yet.
