I normally make a value bet in the 150 range, which seems to get insta-called regularly. In lieu of this, I always wonder had I pushed (apparent steal attempt) would I get called just the same and I'm missing out on more chips.

I love when the turn hits me like that. Makes all your decisions much easier.

See Lorinda's post. She has a nice post about pushing the river and getting called.

Didn't Lori way overpush the pot on the river though? Those fishy types of things can work well against the right type of opponent. In the case in this thread pushing the river isn't weird at all b/c a decent sized pot has already been built. Plus the pot is big enough to throw !~350 chips in and expect weak hands to make a crying call still giving you great value for your hand. In Lori's example it's either bet like ~100 or so or go allin for a big score. The big score only has to work 1 in like 8 type or so for it to work. While here it has to work every other time at roping in weak hands.
