Default Which is the worst play? (Re-raising w/JJ, or calling with AKo)

$33 MTT on PartyPoker, 19 out of 1500 left. Blinds 4000/8000.

UTG+2 (23xBB stack size) raises 2.5xBB with AKo.
UTG+4 calls all-in for 2.5BB total with AQo.
UTG+5 re-raises all-in for 7xBB total with JJ.
13.5xBB pot size.
Folded around to UTG+2, who calls 4.5xBB more.

Who made the worse play? JJ re-raising all-in after a raise and a call, or AKo calling an all-in call and an all-in re-raise?

JJ is the favorite, but with AKo getting good pot odds, JJ doesn't seem to have any fold equity.

Is moving in with JJ incorrect here?
Is calling with AKo correct here?

If AQo doesn't call all-in, does the situation change?

Are you wondering who made the worse play because you think they were both bad plays? Or do you understand they were both good plays and for some reason want to know which of the plays was less good?

Both players made the only play they possibly could so you can't really say either was worse.

JJ has 7xBB, folding would be terrible. You may be blinded away before you get a better hand and neither the initial raise nor the all in are any reason to think a bigger pair is out there. If a bigger pair is out there then it's unlucky, you don't have a deep enough stack to do anything other than move in here.

And obviously AK can't fold when he's getting almost 3:1 to see five cards.

Yea..I don't get much of what you are saying either. Looks very standard.

All plays in this hand appear to be 100% correct. What's your beef?

I play this hand the same, but I have a thing about 3x BB raise. You gotta call the push, although he most likely has a PP.

You can still afford to lose this hand and be in the tournament, if the guy with JJ pushed and it put you all in, I would probably fold.
