First of welcome to CC, i hope u like it here .

You got your money in with the nuts what more do u want?
Only critic one could make of this hand is preflop and the fact u told him your hand before all the money was in.
I dont really like limping with KQ from EP, id much rather raise or fold depending on the table.
As for the telling him your hand before your shoved, well it against the rules of poker and every pokersite i know.
Its a dumb rule but your not allowed to be truthful about your hand.

Also please include any relavent stats/read/table dynamic in OP since its very hard to give any kind of relavent feedback with out it.

Using somekind of hand converter is also very much adviced, i like this one but there are plenty of others u can use http://www.stoxpoker.com/pokertools/hand/71955/ .

[/spoil]


See how much easier it is to follow the action? It also blocks out the players names so people cant google them selfs and find discusions about them selfs(and hides your identy if u want that).


Lastly if u really want a analyses then your posting in the right place, but if you just wanted to vent,this might be a better place to post https://www.cardschat.com/forum/poker-goals-challenges-wins-46/ .

OK - you can do a few things.

1 - You can fold preflop. We're deep and if we hit the right flop we can win a big pot with this hand so I don't necessarily hate limping in, but there's nothing wrong with folding either.

2 - You can choose not to tell the villain what your hand is before you get all in. Obviously he didn't believe you (and even if he did, he still had odds to call) but seriously, what was the thought process behind telling everyone what you've got before you've even been called?

Other than that, you got your money in holding the nuts so this is just a standard beat.

In terms of posting hands for feedback, you can leave off the results and provide any reads you've got on the other players in the hand so that people can give meaningful feedback. Or post it in the BBV forum if you just want to vent about getting crippled in your first Sunday Million (perfectly understandable, FWIW).

Better luck next time!

Thanks, thats useful I didn't know the ruling, but honestly I only did it because I hoped he wouldn't suck out on me

I can't believe people are faulting Limping KQs with a limper in front of you with over 40 BBs in your stack. Raising can get strange bc we're still fairly early, and the limp has come UTG. Let's see a cheap flop is possible, but the hand is way too strong to fold for a limp with over 40 BBs in your stack.

As far as post flop, your opponent has a monster (straight draw flush draw) and is happy to get stacks in. You got your $ in with the nuts, what can u complain about? Actually saying outloud what your hand is, is beyond bad, but outside of that the hand is played fine

KQ can be a real trouble hand, especially in bad position. But as the hand played out, well unlucky.
