Re: Playing Limit
While you won a huge pot, you made two plays that I think were expensive mistakes, on average.

You should be raising, at least preflop and at the second opportunity on the flop. You have a big equity advantage on these streets, and you will be called.
Preflop, you have an excellent hand, AQs, that does particularly well when no one else has shown strength, and the pot is likely to be multiway. The CO posted. In that situation, I would raise KJs for value, and maybe QJs.
On the flop, you have a flush draw and two overcards. That is often a favorite over top pair, and it usually wins far more than par in a multiway pot. You may prefer to call the first time if you think raising will knock too many people out of this small pot, but you can raise for value the second time, when the pot is larger and people are tied to it.
