I'm just wondering, because seriously I think this is a case in which everyone is afraid to take a gamble on a hand, that from the other point of view you would often fall for.

To be honest, I'm rarely getting called with anything but AK, TT, JJ, QQ, AA, then some guys with all the pairs and some with AQ. Against that range, we lose TT, AQ and maaaybe JJ against which we make a marginal postflop gain (and sometimes lose our stack). We, I think, still get QQ and AK to get come along for the ride, and this is a pretty nice EV upgrade.

To me it depends entirely on whether he can lay down AK in this spot. If he can't, it's definitely a good move (anyone not laying down AK isn't laying down JJ).
