    I think shoving is probably the best move here, if he won't call a shove, then he probably isn't gonna call if you raise to 750 either.

    He's probably gonna call or fold to a raise here regardless of size so might as well go for max value.

    I probably check/raise the flop, but as played, I think that a shove on the river is the only option. As Lambert said, he's either going to be bet/folding, in which case, it doesn't matter what we do, or he'll be bet/calling or looking to get the money in, in which case, we might as well shove to get maximum value.

    Start building a pot earlier, obv more profitable than hoping beyond hope he bets 3 streets. 

    Plus we can get oppo to commit more while he thinks he can improve/before suspected drawing hands are made

    i agree, i think u lost alot of value on the flop and turn. on the river he isnt likley to call a shove, if u get him more commited earlier then u have better chance of call and ur move looked so strong on river
