That's a very dangerous little bit of advice there. I don't know the levels you are playing at, but I don't see how that can be anything else than extremely dangerous, and definetely EV-. Floating the pot is definetely a good tool to use every now and then, but you pretty much need position to do that. In NL100 and NL200 someone playing aces will most often then play them very fast and strong. They normally make the standard pot size bet on the flop. Now OOP I can't see anything positive coming out of just calling with nothing, because chances are that if your opponent did in fact have that strong overpair, he will fire another big bet on the turn. You can't call anymore, so check-raising is the only option that might work, but the pot itself will be so big that the overpair will have a hard time getting away from it. Not to mention that stack sizes play a huge role in a situation like this. If you wanted to try and steal in a situation like that, a big check-raise is your best option. If you get called, well, you need to be done with the hand. Overall, the safest move naturally is to fold to the original pre-flop re-raise. If that's something that works for you, great, but I wouldn't recommend anyone playing like that.
