This.
Its all about the 2. villian in the hand making the pot 3-way.
Assuming we have really low FE (<10%) and our draw is somehow "nutty", we want to keep villian#2 in the pot, so calling is the best play in my opinion.
In my games, villian#1 who raised to 90 is NEVER (meaning <3%) folding to our shove.
That being said, I think call-down-any-bet-without-looking-at-turn-card > shoving
for the purpose of keeping V#2 in could be the best play.
@dgiharris:
"You also don't include the times we whiff turn, they shove, and we fold":
This case is not relevant since we are priced in (getting almoste 3:1 or 3.5:1 if v#2 also calls) on calling a turn shove. So call flop call (any) turn is still +ev line.
"Not to mention when we do bink the turn our villains will fold X% to our bets":
This should also happen verry rarely. If we bink the turn and villian has a set he is almost priced in as well. Also this case could even-out with the case that a "scare-card" for villian#1 hits (like a J or K/Q killing his two-pair) and we get a free river.
"Only problem with the above is you aren't including all the times the turn pairs and we are still drawing live to win.":
If we think about shoving OTF or calling, we should consider a "call-down" and not folding to any turn. I think, call flop / call any turn has better EV than shoving flop, so if we play poker and realize some kind of an Edge on a K/Q turn, and maybe hero-fold our draw based on reads, that can not be a bad result at all? (I mean, I assume we are having a decent amount of postflop edge over villians?)
