With stacks this deep against most and OOP, I don't think flatting this hand is a terrible option preflop. It plays fine multiway, and there's relatively little dead money in the pot. Also not opposed to 3betting at all, but I would likely go $100 (we're kinda cool taking down the money now OOP, and otherwise we can commit more comfortably with TP to this sizing).
So we have about a PSB left? Yeah, I shove. First, we could be ahead and are simply protecting our equity (where giving a free card would be a disaster). Second, we sometimes fold out better hands. Thirdly, we can get called by worse (draws) and the shove is for pure value. Lastly, if we get called by hands like just one pair, we give ourselves about 2:1 to chase our 3:1 overs (not horrendous given everything else).
