explain shoving vs. betting like 450

[baudib]

I guess I could fold a scary river card with like 800 left.

I don't think that's the point. Right now you are doing well against most holdings, so your overshove is doing the exact wrong thing: folding out worse hands and getting called by better. A smaller bet gets called wider or shoved over and allows you to get the rest in by the river with a greater chance of being ahead.

The flop bet was perhaps a bit high, but with so many people around it's not too bad. On the turn, I agree that about 450 is better. You're still going to like your hand on most rivers, so going for the 1/3 stack now, rest next street approach should work nicely.

You blow calling stations out of the water when you want calls

I would lean to putting in a weakish-looking bet of 400 here to try encourage opp to call/push over the top of us.

I agree with everyone else - Bet not Shove.

You obviously have the best hand at this point, with a great draws available.
