I think his point here is that you'll have easy decisions with 87s OOP, rather than with AA OOP. If you nail a flop, then you can go with it. If you miss, then you're done with it. Even if you get a piece of it, you can dump it.

I think it was said already, but this strategy should only be used against thinking opponents. Imagine, if you raise OOP against a solid player with 87s and the flop comes A77 or something like this. It's very difficult for this solid player to put you on the seven.

If I'm wrong as to what you were saying before... please correct me.
