This is probably an over complicated explanation — but I see two issues here.
First, if you did have J9 or AJ instead of JT, would you also have shoved in that spot, or tried to pull additional value out of the opponent and bet for value to make sure they called with stuff like Q8o, or AQ. I pretty much play cash game poker, so maybe this is a tournament shove, not sure.
The other primary issue is, since you posted this under 1-2/1-3 I assume the buy in was fairly low. A lot of people will take risks like stacking off with Top Pair (from the flop), bad kicker just because its a low buy in hyper turbo that forces you to place well outside of “optimal” to chip up or bust out and move on to the next HTT.
In short, I think your sophisticated thinking is too deep for this level of tournament and is more suited to a structure with longer play.

Thanks Michael. I moved the question to the tournament section not realizing I posted it here in the 1/2 section. I’m a cash game player myself so I didn’t know how well that hand plays with all the considerations that go into tournaments. I probably wouldn’t shove AJ or J9 normally there because the BB usually isn’t betting half pot with a flush draw and then again if he hits so there’s definitely worse hands he could lead with on the river. This player was kind of weak and folded to post flop raises so I figured based off of my stack size and combo draw I was in a good spot to put some pressure on his one pair hands.
