The general advice for new players is to play very tight preflop, and one of the reasons for this is that playing very tightly preflop makes postflop decisions so much easier. Most of the time you're going to be betting/raising with your overpair on a non-threatening board, value betting with TPGK, playing sets+ strongly and check-folding hands that miss the flop.

If you play J9s and hit top pair for example, you have a potentially tricky postflop situation. You could be outkicked, or could be up against a calling station or maniac who has bottom pair or nothing, and this is where reads become important, and asking a pretty new player to read someone's hand baased on their previous actions in the hand and in the game as a whole is asking a lot, whereas an experienced player would often be able to evaluate the situation and conclude whether it would be worthwhile to see a showdown if the board bricks on the turn and river.

...and I'm guilty of misplaying AK on several occasions (bluffing into calling stations with nothing when they have bottom pair etc), but it's still one of my biggest long-term winners.
