It's not bad when there is 750+ in the pot and only 350 behind. It's not bad with AK or AJ, probably AT. If there were more behind, say a pot sized bet, it would be bad, but anyone with just about anything has to call getting 3 to 1.
The point wasn't that he probably had AK. The point was that he had to play most made hands getting such good odds, and once the pot was huge compared to stacks, he may have bet hoping to get a fold or going for thin value. He knows he can't get reraised, so why not?
You had the board pretty crushed otr. No straights or flushes are possible. You can only get called by a few hands you beat. It's not a requirement to bet 2/3 pot or more. You could have gone smaller, making a call more enticing and an allin bigger. For example, if you bet 150 into 415, the allin would have been 550 and would have been pot-sized. That makes it much more expensive for him to bluff shove and much easier for you to get away from a hand that is beaten.
