Hold'em Preflop Strategy According to Abdul

However, if you make a mistake by usually laying down AQ on flop that misses even though you believed you had the best hand preflop then perhaps you would be better off playing incorrectly preflop by not raising. Another exception could be made if your opponents will "check to the raiser" if and only if the flop contains an ace, king, or queen.

There are two concepts here and I don't understand either of them. The first is calling with overcards. TTH almost always advises to call with overcards. Yet Jones advises against it. Can anyone give me a good rule of thumb about this very common situation? I know that the odds of hitting one of your overcards is 7-1 but I usally fold unless the pot is giving me at least 10-1 because my overcard pair might give someone else two pair.

The second concept is a new one for me. I've never bothered to notice whether my games do this or not. It's something that I will have to begin looking for. But is this right, if the table only checks to the raiser if flop contains A,K or a Q then you should not raise with AQ in LP.
