i disagree with this and i dont even play low stakes anymore. beginners make alot of money by owning people with overpairs and to a lesser extend, tptk. folding a nice overpair to a minraise in small stakes NL is a crime.
I concur with gabe.

What makes it so hard is that sometimes players have TPNK and sometimes they have TPTK to your overpair.

If you're playing against me you're going to be folding a lot of hands. Especially in position I'm raising cont bets, I raise them with draws, I raise with 2nd pair, I raise it with air. Think about what I might have when calling a raise. Probably a pocket pair or SC in position. If I call with JJ or 78s and the flop comes K96 or As10s2d and you lead 50%-60% then I am raising your bet about 2.5 times

You've really got to distinguish between a flop raise, a turn raise and a river raise. I have run into so many complete bluffs; I had to call down yesterday with AT top pair when my opponent was calling until the river when he pushed all in to my blocking bet.

If I had to make a "rule" it would be limited to the following: if your opponent raises or check raises on the turn you can be pretty confident about dumping your TPTK
