Analysis
In this hand, you made some critical errors that contributed to your loss.
1. **Pre-flop Raise Size**: You raised to 25 with A♠ Q♠, which is a reasonable play. However, against a limper and multiple callers, you could consider a larger raise to around 35-40 to better isolate an opponent and build the pot, particularly since you have position.
2. **Post-flop Play**: The flop (4♣, 5♥, 6♦) brought a board that could help many opponents. Your bet of 25 is decent, but a slightly larger bet could pressure other players with draws or weaker hands. Aim for about 35-40 here.
3. **Turn Check**: Checking the turn after betting on the flop is problematic. The Ten of Spades can complete various draws and strengthen opponents' hands. You should consider a lead bet (about 40-50) to charge any draws and protect your pair.
4. **River Call**: While calling 40 with your pair of tens seems defensible, recognizing the opponent's strong ace-high can help gauge whether a fold is better, especially given their earlier aggression.
In summary, adjust your bet sizes to apply more pressure, especially against multiple opponents, and consider selectively applying aggression based on board texture. Understanding relative hand strength will also significantly improve your decision-making moving forward.
