I agree with this post, I think you are risking too much on this hand, especially at the five dollar level where people who are limping are ususally calling raises with weak hands that could have you beat like A3. Sherman liked the play at certain times so maybe it would work at the higher stakes, but I don't think you have enough FE to make this a +Ev move.

Edit: Another question is what are you going to do on an all undercard flop, or an A high flop. What about something like AJ5? You are going to be involved in too many marginal situations post flop and probably will not be able to take it down with a c-bet.
