Having a zero bluffing range against a stationing whale isn’t tight passive, its a sound pure strat that makes the most money. Also, you don’t ‘whiff’ 2/3 of the time when your 4b range is, say, JJ+, AQo+, AQs+, and as others noted you wouldn’t want to just shove that range (introducing the possibility that he might fold) when you can just bet less and have the station call off dead over flop+turn nearly always. Given all of this you might be able to choose a better line (than shove) with the 1/3 of your range that doesn’t flop a pair.
And by the way, if this goes ck ck, ck ck you’re crushing him. Birds eye view again, imagine 2/3 time you win 500, and a 1/3 of the time you realize your equity at no cost post. Dream.
