This may seem a bit strange, but I think you could have folded out a TPTK or overpair by betting less, like around $160. But by betting more, you ensure TPTK or an overpair will call because they are more likely to put you on a flush draw.

To me, your raise is not for value by any stretch of the imagination. It appears that you are trying to push villain off the hand via an overbet.
If you raise $160 and villain calls, pot will be $370 on turn and you and villain will have approximately $500 behind which means your sizing would be perfect for a turn shove. Your line would appear MUCH stronger with this approach and appear to be seeking more value rather than the flop overbet IMO.
What i'm sensing is that you just didn't want to take the chance of being outplayed by villain so you purposefully committed yourself. I just think this sorta thinking and line isn't +EV longterm. I feel that in this particular situation, you are lucky because the EV is more or less 0 (equity is probably 50/50 here). Basically, the reason I don't like it is because it:
#1, turns your hand face up
#2, doesn't allow for worse hands to call
#3, commits too many chips when a lessor bet accomplishes the same thing 90% of the time.
I could be wrong, but that is how I see this.

What I meant is that by overbet shoving in this spot, he is more likely to get action later.
Next time OP overbet shoves at this table, villains are going to put him on a semibluff. So, from a balancing perspective, if/when OP shoves later with the nuts, he is likely to get more calls or lighter calls. That is what I meant.
