The first is calling with over cards. TTH almost always advises to call with overcards. Yet Jones advises against it.

I believe that Jones is describing loose passive games [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] while TTH is addressing tighter more aggressive games.

8 players in an unraised pot, fold over cards. 3 players in a raised pot, play over cards aggressively.

A log of the profit from raising preflop comes from having the initiative on the flop. If you are not getting this, some of the advantage in a pre flop raise is lost so you should consider folding or calling with hands you might otherwise raise with.
