Busting out is WAY worse then doubling up (is good) here. Doubling up doesn't do much for you in this spot. According to your logic, you should play any hand that is better then a 50/50 shot against him since you will double up more then you will bust.

If I'm in the BB, I'm stoaked that the hero called with AKo. One third of the time, I make the money right there! Even if the hero wins, I will still make the money some of the time. If the BB gains on us calling, someone has to lose. One of the losers is us.
