This line is an offensive strategy whereas you the calling line is essentially a defensive play (protecting yourself from being bluffed). Do you have any read on the villain that says he'll play a 480BB pot with only one pair? One of the secrets to be a successful lag is to play small or medium sized pots with one pair then when you have two pair or better play a big pot. People tend not to believe you have it when you are splashing around all the time.
