Can anyone explain the logic of going all in on JTx boards? Check/all in seems like better option?

We have urgency to get money in asap, because hands like our overpairs are still good enough to get the money in, but they are also very vulnerable.
We also have many strong semi-bluff candidates on JTx.

If we check (or bet smaller) and turn comes, say, a 7, then we will really regret we didn't shove flop.

1) We may now be dead
2) Even if we are still ahead, we won't get value from worse.
3) Even if we are still ahead, we can now get bluffed out of the pot.

So shoving is the best way for us to:
1) Deny villain his equity / charge him maximally
2) Get value from worse while we still can
3) Deny villain from bluffing us out of the pot on bad turns.

A, K, Q, J, T, 9, 8, 7, X, or flush completing turn all change the nuts/equity distribution. At low SPR on dynamic boards OOP just wants to leverage their total equity advantage to negate the positional disadvantage. SB vs BTN 3bp and a JTL two toned board textures is a good example of that as well as some two-toned dynamic turn spots.

Zamadhi summarized it well. It is mostly to ensure that we realize our all equity and deny some of IP's. In position has a bigger advantage on dynamic boards.
