The EV of an option with a hand depends on what you do with every other hand (and how opponent views your range)
eg, on the river, if you literally only bet with the nuts and your opponent knows this, your bet isn't worth as much as it would if you had bluffs.
There are better ways to construct your range than others.
Being predictably unbalanced will influence the EV of your hands.
At the highest level, you should strive to be balanced such that even if your opponent knows your exact range, they can't do anything about it.
I don't think that correlates with finding the highest EV play of any single hand.
