You analyzed it yourself pretty well. Do some research on the Gap Concept.

are you serious did i really analyze it right and i dont understan when you say gap concept can you explain

 

[Jillychemung]

The Gap Concept was 1st discussed in the Theory of Poker. It says that you need a much better hand to call a raise than to make one. AJs against an early position shove when you have an M=26 is a very loose play.

ok i get what your sayin so do u think the right move would of been to call? if not then what

 

[Dwilius]

AJs was the push Jilly. 88 called and KTs pushed after that .
But pushing AJs wasn't necessary with low blinds.

Ah yes thanks. IMHO calling the UTG+1 raise with UTG still to act presents a lot of problems with AJs. This early in the tournament, fold AJs in this case.
