Default A hand where buyin matters, maybe?

What would you do on the river in the following hand if all you know about villian is the buyin...

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Hero (t1225)
UTG (t956)
MP1 (t3055)
MP2 (t1255)
CO (t2167)
Button (t1767)
SB (t3075)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls t50, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t150) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks.

Turn: (t150) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t100</font>, UTG folds, SB calls t100.

River: (t350) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks,

i don't think i see a reason to bet big, or to check behind. in either situation. but i'm tired.

t200 (over half the pot) is a value bet?

I'de bet it strong regardless of buy in, but prob around 250 in a big buyin and around 350 in a smaller one.

I really don't see the point in making those tiny post-oak seeming value bets (like 50-100 in this case). I'd rather my opponent fold more often and I win more when he calls, because if he folds no one sees my cards and usually the call % makes the bigger bet worth it.

Good thinking here, also I would hate to entice SB to an all-in reraise from SB here (not very likely for a bluff, but still possible).
