We show that every Abelian group satisfying a mild cardinal inequality admits a pseudocompact group topology from which all countable subgroups inherit the maximal totally bounded topology (we say that such a topology satisfies property $\h$). Every pseudocompact Abelian group $G$ with cardinality $|G|\leq 2^{2^\cc}$ satisfies this inequality and therefore admits a pseudocompact group topology with property $\h$. Under the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis (SCH) this criterion can be combined with an analysis of the algebraic structure of pseudocompact groups to prove that every pseudocompact Abelian group admits a pseudocompact group topology with property $\h$. We also observe that pseudocompact Abelian groups with property $\h$ contain no infinite compact subsets and are examples of Pontryagin reflexive precompact groups that are not compact.
