Surely we need >50% equity to make a shove better than a call.

edit: In fact we dont even need >50% equity against his river range. we need >50% equity against his shove calling range.
We are getting 3:1 pot odds on this river bet. So, if we need approximately 25% equity to call and villain is never folding to a river shove, then shoving becomes +EV if we have >25% equity.
