2/5 Live NL I love playing big pots with 1 pair

What do we ultimately think of the villian's push here?

I'm not saying it was a bad play on his part, albeit certainly suspicious, but is there a difference in him betting $350 vs. betting say, $200?

It seems that since it's a bluff, would it have been better to bet ~$200-250? If the Hero is calling $250, he's calling $350...so you'd save $100 if he calls.

Plus, it might make it look more like he "wants a call" rather than a desperation "wants a fold" bet.

Thoughts?
