The fact that he likes to bluff is not a good reason to shove. You gain nothing from raising his bluffs, and lose a lot if he happens to have a big hand.
There is a big difference between his thin value bet range and his shove calling range. You're giving good reasons to call the bet, not to shove over it.
Main thoughts:
i suspect he has zero shove calling range that we beat. Some argue there is some there but it is super thin. He has a significant shove calling range that beats us.
We have little FE. I guess maybe he could find a fold for better sets, but the only one that makes any sense at all is KK. Maaaaybe he folds a made gutterball, but even that is questionable.
Slim to nonexistent value range + slim to nonexistent FE= call and NOT shove.
