Re: When the better tries to force the caller\'s decision.
I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong... but I think most people would disagree with this.

It would seem to me strong players are more likely to care about getting that last bet (because they think in long-run terms), than a "gambler" who's often just happy that he won a pot.

People who think in long-run terms are less likely to care about a single bet than short-term opponents. I think your analysis is good, but you are reaching the wrong conclusions.
Edit: note that there is a significant difference between a single bet, and making the correct play overall. A long-runner would not care about the bet, but maximizing profit overall- meaning the best chance of getting his opponent to fold or call (whichever he preferred) and almost all strong players would agree this isn't done by trying to force your opponent to act quickly.
