I'm not one bet large as the bettor, but I also hate to be "on the call."

You're much more solid than I and I would raise the flop to the $275-$325 range. With your game, I'd raise this to the $300-$350 range. You're beating him to the pot if he pushes here and if you're flat called, you're pushing a good 9/10 turn cards when he checks.
