Preflop play is important, but playing throught the streets even more so. It sounds like your preflop play has become more Abdulian, which is ok, just different than S&M. I would also play the hands you mentioned the same way. Just checking my records for example, I have had AQ 50 times and have only cold called with it once. If you have a good win rate over a rasonable period of time, dont sweat it. Post flop is more important.
