Note that we don't want to find a range of hands that have this equity on average, we want a list of hands that each have at least this minimum equity.

ringmaster, can you explain this point some more please?

The point is we know our hand before we have to decide whether to shove or not, and we only want to shove the times when it's +EV to do so. We don't need to put ourselves on a range before we move in. We shouldn't be shoving any hand which is -EV to shove in isolation (metagame reasons aside).

We could include 32o in Hero's range and still the range as a whole would be profitable to shove. But why would we want to? Shoving 32o is a -EV play by itself, so we're needlessly costing ourselves money by shoving with it. Since we'll know the times we hold 32o, we can avoid making a -EV play by folding it instead.

We simply want a list of all hands which are +EV to move in with given the situation.
