"MP (2-5th to act preflop)- Raise 99+, AJs+, AQo+, KQs like UTG but add a few more hands. As the chance that you will have position after the flop increases (as you get closer to the button), it becomes more profitable to add in KQo and AJo, and in 5th position I would probably even raise KJs and ATs. Limp all the other pairs. If there is a raise in front from a standard player (for our purposes from now on a “standard player” raises 10% of his hands and has a vpip of 20%), just call with AQs, 99, TT, and JJ, and muck AJ, AQ, and KQ and call with all other pairs. When you are second or third to act with AA, KK, QQ, or AK you should almost always reraise to isolate. The last thing you want is to call his raise and then have three callers behind you. A five way pot with AA sucks, and it is the reason most people get stacked with AA too much."
Do people think he means "raise" with AQs, 99, etc., because later he says to call with all other pairs.

He means OPEN raise with these hands - when you are the first one into the pot.
When he refers to calling with them, he is referring to a different situation - when someone else has opened and you are faced with a race. He is not advising you to limp with them.

sorry, i'm confused, because he says "if there is a raise in front..." - doesn't that mean you won't be opening? are you sure you're looking at the right part of the quote? with the red text....
