Honestly, all 3 options seem fairly close. It is a hard hand to play well. It seems too strong to just fold. But if we just call, we are inviting in more players, and if that happens all we can do post-draw is to hope it checks around, and hope we win. If we raise to eliminate further players, we run into the same problem we are in.
If it were just one pip better, T8543, I would raise and call the shove. If he pats, I can then break as I'm almost always live with the 8543 draw. If he draws, we pat the T.
With this hand I would lean towards folding. But I admit I'm just not sure. Even though I don't get to play this game a lot, and I am very nitty, I still get plenty of action when I raise. So don't ever worry about not "giving" enough action in order to get action. That just isn't a real problem in any poker game IME.
