Can you elaborate a little here? How am I being blown off a hand with value? If I pick up AKo and open raise on the button and some chap raises me, depending on the player, I'm probably 3-betting pot size. If I just call, I'll bet if checked to, and I'll happily commit my stack with TPTK heads up with preflop action.

i think he's referring more to a less premium hand like QJs.
you hit TP, but youve got an OK kicker - puts you in a tough place whereas if you hit TP with a 4 kicker you happily fold and not regret it.
