Meh, I think you miss value by not betting more on that flop. These missed 0.50 opportunities add up after after a good sample size.

If you try to build bigger pots with one pair hands, it's likely to bite you in the butt later. If you knew his calling range was the same for either bet, sure, go for the bigger one. But at some of the higher games, betting becomes more of a function of flop texture than a function of your holdings.
