Did I made the wrong decision

sometimes you run into big hands

So...was my shove wrong?

as always.... it depends. Need more information to make a more accurate decision

i.e, stack sizes, table image, cash/tourney etc etc

more info would be great ♠_biggrin:

I'd be raising pre.

Was this in Cash, SNG or MTT?

I can move your post into Hand Evaluations to get a coachs view, but it would be far more beneficial if you can post the Hand history here too.

Does this help?This is my first time trying to paste the hand history from HM

-In HEM double click on the hand and it will open in replayer.
-In replayer window on the left side somwhere is the Hand History linkbutton. Click it.
-In hand history window on top right there is a button "2+2". Click it and it will copy the hand history.
-Then just paste that here.

As for the hand;
Why do you only have 54bb stack?
You will play the hand out of position 4-way if you call. And you will have no idea on the flop where you stand. I would just raise preflop and with your stack size try to get it all in preflop.

I've edited the hand into your original post, I'll now move it to Hand Evaluations

Still did'nt answer why you don't buy in for 100bb.

Oh,that's easy.Because I'm still a fish who doesn't have the habit to re-buy himself.But I'm trying my hardest to improve my game(watching coaching vids,reading articles and now posting hands on the forums).So its just a mistake on my part.

There is nothing wrong with not buying for the full amount. You just need to to understand that strategy you play changes with your stack size. (SSS, MSS, BSS). and you need to adapt to that.

Oh yeah,I tend to go for bss because I find it to be the most profitable way to earn money(but what do I know).And while we are it could you guys look at this hand.Did I played it bad:
Grabbed by Holdem Manager

Hero ($5.58)
BB ($6.40)
UTG ($4.37)
CO ($10.65)
BTN ($9.85)

fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.30, BB calls $0.20

FLOP ($0.60) Q♦ K♦ 4♠

Hero bets $0.60, BB calls $0.60

TURN ($1.80) Q♦ K♦ 4♠ 8♠

Hero bets $1.80, BB calls $1.80

RIVER ($5.40) Q♦ K♦ 4♠ 8♠ 9♥

Hero bets $2.88 (AI), BB calls $2.88

Hero shows K♥ A♥
(Pre 78%, Flop 88.2%, Turn 93.2%)

BB shows 9♠ K♣
(Pre 22%, Flop 11.8%, Turn 6.8%)

BB wins $10.42

I was watching the coaching tree from deucescrack and one of the guys said something that managed to stuck on my head."VALUE BET,VALUE BET,VALUE BET."Of course I know that it all depends on the situation but I thought that this time was good for some value betting.
Edit:I had only 5 bucks because these are my last money from the 50$ quiz I made.haha
I was doing fine but I lost 2 all-ins with my AA preflop and 1 time KK preflop.meh

Hello djenkov,

Welcome to the NL Hand Evaluation Forum! Hopefully we will see more hands from you in the future. I hope that with our help you can improve your play and as well move up the limits. We will be waiting for the next hands and till that good luck on tables!

Also please post 1 hand per thread, just open a new thread if you want any new hands to be evaluated.

About QQ hand:
3bet it preflop and play for the stacks. Plus of course you should be playing 100BB game if you following the BSS chart!

Best Regards.
