kthx.
I didn't read all the posts (the OP was a bit too long by itself), but I'm gonna go ahead and disagree on a theoretical level. Maximising EV would be to get all the chips in when he's drawing dead. If we have that awesome read that the villain will never fold his hand, plus we know what his hand is, then we can just c/c to the river and shove if he didn't improve. Even without knowing his excact holding, like in hero's example, we can get more EV by c/c down and shove a non-A river (thus having protected ourselves against him outdrawing to quads). There is an example in NLTAP about this I believe.
The bottom line in real life is of course that we will never have that excact read, but if we did we would be foolish not to act upon it. +EV does not equal max EV.
