Default Ring game/Weaker players

Yesterday i found a quite interesting cardplayer article about full-ring limit-holdem games with several weak players in it:
http://www.cardplayer.com/magazine/article/15647

It basically says that it can become very frustrating to play in these games because your big hands will often be cracked through questionable calls by weaker players.
But because of your heavy preflop-raising with your big hand these players actually gets the right odds to call you down with only second or third pair in a big multiway pot.
Thats why the author suggests not to raise your big hands preflop, so that your opponents wont have the odds to call you on later streets.

I dont know if this is a common way to play, but it is quite new to me.
How do you think about it? How do you deal with those kind of ring-games?

Should I just call preflop here???:

Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
