Default Re: GAP Theory

I think I would have folded preflop there. The gap theory is good and all, but I don't think it comes into play once an early position raises. At that point you have to wonder what he could raise with in early position. I would figure he would have AA KK or AK and I would fold as it's unlikely my AJ isn't dominated. Remember, you need a better hand to call a raise than you do to make a raise.

Phil Gordon's "Little Green Book" explains the gap theory quite well. He also does a free column on ESPN.com and one of them talks about GAP.

Good luck
