i think you'll find this incredibly difficult given how many flops can fall and all the possible different ranges/betsizes each player can take when we try to factor play on later streets into precise EV calculations

It's not really that difficult. If we know villains range and we know what our equity is what %. All we have to do is break the area under a curve into different portions to get a very good estimate of the EV of calling. This is super standard in PLO when we know our opponent have AAxx and is shoving 100% of flops. It should be similar in hold em but a little more difficult because we don't know exactly what actions villain will take. Not because of the finite number of flops. Calculating the equity of range v range on random flops takes just a few seconds.

edit: Just realized it's pretty much irrelevant because who flats 4bs when sizing is usually absurd and especially when rake is ridiculous.
