He shows profit when the rake is above 10,58%. If the rake is under 10,58%, it is more profitable for him to just fold any two cards.
EV of blind pushing when J9o calls:
EV of blind pushing when J9o folds:
EV of calling J9o when the rake is 10,58%:
The caller's calling range when the rake is 10,57% (J9o still calls):
As you can notice there's a bit more difference from the original result when we're calculating the answer to your second question (21% --> 19,07% . . . 17% --> 10,58%). This happens because the pusher has much more equity on average in the second question and therefore benefits more from the lowered rake on his side.
