Pot is too small to push on the river I would think. You will make OP fold a lot of hands with that push that would call a value bet. He has about 740 left, why not make it $250 on the river? He might even come over the top with something like TT thinking that you are just firing your last barrel. Even though you have an ultra lagg image he might be aware of the fact that you are not a complete idiot and leading with a push on the river after being smooth called all the way is pretty strong IMO. Either he has an overpair or he was on the club draw with overcards in which case you probably won't get a call on the river anyways, I would try and extract on the river not chase away.

Also if you made it 3-4xBB preflop you would have been able to build a bigger pot more easily.

I like ur play for several reasons:
1. Table image = ultra lag ==> people get tired of being pushed around and get into a "ill show him mindset" and call with medium strength hands
2. Preflop raise from ep ==> most of the time i would think even lagg players only raise pf from utg with some sort of hand. so a player at this level would think big cards of some sort
3. all low cards on flop==> if he caught any of this flop at all or has a middle pair he is thinking he has u cold
4.call on flop and turn ==> me thinks playing middle pair 88 99 or1010 maybe flush draw but u are giving horrible odds
5.ur all in looks like big bully pushing trying to get someone with a smaller stack off a mediocre hand

did he call and if so what did he show?

If you have been going all in on the river often and your image is that you try to steal pots this way, it might be a good move. I prefer to bet about half his stack and hope he comes over the top.

i often regret overbetting in these spots when a valuebet of 2/3 would get called much more often. unless you've made these overbets on river often, I don't like it much. i'd be more inclied to overbet if flushdraw missed or someth

I like it. That bet doesn't have to get called too often to make up for a few missed value bets. When you're running a table and totally lag, I don't see any reason to slow down.

Even if he folds, this bet might have gotten your next hand closer to being paid off.
