For me this seems to work better than a larger size bet when you've rep'd it the entire way. A little pause like your trying to figure out just how much he will call. A larger bet feels more aggressive to him and he may tend to call more often IMO. Why pushing with big hands works?

Given your read, I think he only calls if he has something pretty big. +EV long run.
