I would say your question depends on the read of your opponent.  If you are correct here that villain is a fish then you have a lot of leeway in your bet sizing as long as you dont go too small.  If they truly are fishy they might have a knack for calling down to see all five cards and then fold if they dont have it on the river. Betting as large as you did though gave the opponent basically no choice but to call the river (assuming they only called the turn) because the price would be so good.  Against better players or just even non fish, you would want to go smaller here to keep them in the hand at the turn since non fish players will begin to float less and fold more on the turn when they sense they are not strong enough to continue.  Since you correctly diagnosed your opponent as a fish I think your bet sizing was good.  Better players will fold their 2s and other weak hands as a result of this bet so against them you would almost be making a negative expectation bet by going this large.  This hand is just another example that we all should be tailoring our sizing depending on who we are playing against.
