 What is "AS"? Ace? If so, yes, that is a straight. Sure he didn't have a 6?

 you could have lost to a flush as well depending on the suits of the cards on the board, or full house depending what other cards came and opponent held

thats a straight, he may had a flush or a striaight 2,3,4,5,6 for sure. The straight A,2,3,4,5 is the lowest straight also in case you didn't know, the ace isn't the stongest card in straights (it plays like a 1)

Roller has a little shameless behaviour in the past
 An A can be a 1 or an A when playing poker.

"Hi, i have a silly question maybe, but the other day while i was playing a tournament i lost all my chips with AS 2 3 4 5, that is a straight or not? Because i lost i think no, thats right??????"


So Yes you had a straight.
Can you open up the hand history and see what the winning hand was?
It may have been a higher straight or a flush.
I hope this helps clear up your question.

if the board was 2 3 4 5 and also paired (so another card from 2-5) he could have a full house
