There's no reason to PUSH the turn, as it's a gross overbet and is only going to be called by an equal or better hand. Bet closer to the pot, maybe 300. A big spade might try to draw out on you but will fold if you push. Call if put all in.

You're just going to have to pay off a guy who limped and hit J8o there. Don't be results oriented. In fact, don't even post the results: you can cut the hand off where your last action is (i.e., just leave it off after your push) and you'll get the least biased analysis that way.
