Default A spot that may be likely to leave a spot

Stars Bazillion Lottery

About 110 left, BB= 20,000/10,000 ante 1200ish, 9 handed

I am sitting in the BB w/ 99 and about 470K

Folded to players Randers on the button w/460K . THAYER has been chatting with him and by their chat I figure he's a pro, I am not, and have not played with him before.

Randers disconnects and his whole time bank runs down to 3 seconds when all of the sudden he re-connects and makes it 60K to go.

SB w/ 160K insta jams.

I was going to jam over any button raise anyway, and I have a look at SB's stack in the middle, figure I can isolate and get an overlay, so I jam.

Fairly standard?

Regards,
Woodguy

I think so. I can't see that a call makes any difference to button's felting range (unless he has some reason to feel that you're an idiot) and you can't fold.

Looks good. I'd fold 66 and below.

Arbitrary line due to experience or is there math behind picking 66? (curious)

I would jam. The fact that the SB is short makes me suspect a tighter than usual range for the Button, but we have too much equity to fold, and the button should fold some of the hands we want him to.

I am interested in looking at the 66+ comment Foucault made though. I can see the SB effecting our equity somewhat, since hands like A7, or some random garbage with a 7 or 8 involved being in his range. I don't see our our equity vs the Button changing all that much though. Basically, just the pairs in between.

Looks standard. I think you can profitably do this with 88+/AK/AQs. I, of course, have only intuition to support these claims, but that's my guess.
