Sure, but when we 3bet pre and shove the flop for a pretty large bet we correctly get them to fold almost their entire range that we are ahead of.
That isn't what we want.
We want them to call (incorrectly) with hands that we are ahead of.
So shoving the flop and having them all fold a high % of the time (while profitable) doesn't mean that it is the most profitable line.
