Also, at these types of tables AA-QQ go down in value and suited connectors and smaller pairs (for set value) go up.

you are [censored] retarded. AA is the best hand, PERIOD. I don't care if it's HU or vs 9 players.

Give me any hand vs 9 others and I'll take AA every single time.

Just because the number of times AA loses vs 9 people doesn't mean it loses value.

While this is true, it is much tougher to play high pocket pairs, which inexperienced players perceive as "losing value."

In a large multiway pot, playing big pairs is often tricky and need to be folded routinely, something a lot of players can't do.

Besides, his comment is not technically wrong. Big pairs do go down in value while suited connectors go up in value, especially in loose/passive low-limit games.
