2-5 Caesars AC..
Hero: 500 deep, aggressive image, but hasn't been playing long
Villain: covers, middle age guy. Has shown a bluff or two. I haven't been playing long enough to know much else.
3 limpers, I have A s 10 d on button and limp. Blinds check.
Pot 30.. flop 10 s 9 s 4 s .. Villain leads out 15 from BB (because of his position this looks strong to me), utg limper calls (she's loose), I raise to 45, BB calls, fold.
put 135.. 3 s ... Villain checks, i bet 45, he calls.
pot 225 .. river 9 d.. he checks, i bet 40 ...

Stop limping on the button.
Your raise on the flop is fine. I would bet at least half the pot on the turn but i get that you want the money in.
River, wtf. Are you afraid of the full house? You're def going to be afraid of it when he ships over the top of this smallish bet for a bluff or with a smaller flush!
Bet sizing is important for a reason. it also allows us to range better. If you bet more on the turn you would know if he was on a set or not. Honestly as played im weighting him more towards a lower flush or maybe two pair. I'm betting half the flop, if he comes over the top i fold but i am def looking to get more value.
