Fast-playing middle set builds a massive pot on dry boards, setting up an effortless river shove with a full house.

Calling the unexpected turn lead is completely reasonable, keeping all of HJ's bluffs and weaker trips in play.
Shoving all-in is the pure play here. We hold a near-unbeatable full house and must extract the rest of HJ's stack when they barrel into us. **Ranges:** HJ's river barrel represents either missed straight draws turning into bluffs or strong made hands like flushes and worse boats that cannot fold to our shove. **Math:** With stack-to-pot ratio below 1, we risk 56.8BB effective to win a pot already exceeding 60BB, guaranteeing maximum value whenever they find a hero-call. --- > **Takeaway:** When holding near-the-nuts at shallow river SPR, shove all-in over opponent bets rather than just calling.
