Shove offers V 2-1 so he maybe lays down all his non-NFDs and SDs which I think is good maybe.
This might come across as obvious, but before I "worry" about the river, I am already worrying about the turn before it even comes because 'half the deck' is going to change the nuts and I'm deep. The deeper you get, the more having a nut draw (including top boat as a drawing hand) is important esp when OOP and super-especially in a 1/3 game where 200bb stackoffs on J745s boards are not going to be light in most cases.
I'm trying to convey that my approach when flopping top set 4 ways isn't "let's stack off in a hurry" whatsoever, it's very much about making the max while playing max-defense at the same time (<-this is the secret to crushing btw, dodging bullets). So to bring this back to current, the last thing I am going to do once a nut changing turn hits is think like this...

...Instead, (and I'm not advocating for a turn check although the case can be made when you consider your whole range, position, depth) we make a bet that is +EV, but when now raised, is there any clarity that shoving 2x pot-ish is a slam dunk? Is it even +EV? Again, not even talking about range play, just this hand in a vacuum which is fine for the game being played. Best play? Call.
I hope above isn't too noisy, but the whole concept here is that I just got raised on a nut changer deep, and, for all I know there are still 32 full frequency combos of better hands available to him. He very well may overcall 63o pre we just don't know his state of mind, but if we rip in 500, we're gonna know in a hurry AND the flipside we also create max FE for his overplayed 2p, and some sets against which we have stacking equity on good rivers - Are you raise-calling off 2p? Nooooope, neither is he. So, CALL 100, and NOW we can "worry" about the river. If its a J or a paired board, sure nice, we can overboat him and sometimes lose to quads, great spot. We can decide to bet big or check or bet small on that card, all have viability. On flush cards, 4 liners, and many of the other cards, we can check and decide. If he is willing to put in 500 with on those cards, well, he is either vastly overplaying a made hand (he might be) or just simply already had beat or improved (a lot of the time) so we can check fold to a greedy bet size. If you want to ckc 500, that's allowed probably, but I promise that check calling $500 bets in a 1/3 game without the nuts is generally going to be a losing play.
