maybe in terms of raw chipEV, but I think at this stake there is a huge benefit to:
a) getting into good habits--x/r nai here with this hand will be a lot better at *most* stakes vs *most* players and if we get used to shoving we might think it's still best when we move up, or even build it into our game to the point where it pops up when autopiloting even though it shouldn't.
b) getting more experience in later street spots--x/r nai here leads to having to play the turn sometimes, and that practice will lead to more long term EV than even some small edge we burn in the moment since in the future stakes will be higher. If we always shove here we limit how often we play in x/r turn spots which is essential to building up our poker experience.
