Do you pay attention to how much $ you leave behind when bet sizing?

Below is a hand history from a $5+0.50 SNG.
CO has limp/folded from all positions.
Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t25/t50
6 players
Converter
Stack sizes:
UTG: t1735
UTG+1: t2265
CO: t835
Hero: t1195
SB: t4230
BB: t3240
Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with A J
2 folds, CO calls t50, Hero raises to t200, SB folds, BB calls t150, CO folds.
Flop: 4 4 9 (t475, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero ???
Here I have a possible multi-street bluff opportunity (flop/turn instead of turn/river like in T&P). After my pre-flop raise, I have t995 chips left. A 1/2 pot-sized c-bet is about 1/4 of my stack (leaving ~t750 behind). If villain calls, the pot will be ~t950. This leaves me with a 3/4 pot-sized all-in turn bluff.
A 2/3 pot-sized c-bet is about 1/3 of my stack (I'd much rather push).

p. 71: For all bet sizes that are only a small fraction of the size of the pot, your opponents will fold roughly the same number of hands... For all bet sizes much larger than the size of the pot, your opponents will also fold roughly the same number of hands: almost everything except the nuts and perhaps a couple of other extremely strong hands.

My question is if I get check-raised on the flop by the BB with say a small PP or a 9, am I better off pushing the flop to see all the cards (and possibly increasing fold equity with ~2x pot-sized push)?
