Re: After examination
I think Ashley's advice is pretty much right on target.
His example is a bit extreme (it's rare for five players to go to the showdown) but, in my experience, it's typical of what happens to players who push hands like jacks-up in a multiway field against a bunch of stubborn players who are showing higher cards and/or probable flush or straight draws.
The problem may be the term "premium pairs". TT-QQ just aren't in the same league as KK-AA, especially in multiway pots or versus opponents with higher door cards. TT-QQ are pretty much dogmeat in multiway pots unless you have a live ace kicker or a live flush feature.
