Games in Vegas are horribly nitty, so I agree that if this hand took place there, I'd be less likely to want to jam.
Another recent example from a Bay Area 2-5 game:
There is an EP raise to $20 with two callers, I look down at AA in late position and 3bet. Everyone folds except the last caller who thinks for a second and 4bets for around 65% of his stack. He had sat down around 20 minutes earlier and seemed splashy but hadn't done anything too wild up until that point.
I jam and he tanks for about 45 seconds (he hadn't seemed to consider that I may do this) and reluctantly calls off his stack with...KQo.
When I first moved to the Bay Area I was folding way too much. The games are different here so I adjusted accordingly.
