I prefer to make this move with outs, to protect against the crying calls.

Also, I would say that beginners should not underestimate the difficulty of decifering this read that tells you "I can force a fold with a big bet" from the read that says "he's strong and might be willing to see a card". Without doing the math, I'd say you'd need to be right quite often to make this a better play than standard TAG.

I think it's a good advanced tactic if you've logged a lot of hands against a player and/or take good notes, AND if you are willing to accept more variance.
