I think shoving is excellent. BU with the large stack can open up to 50% of hands here trying to steal from mid stacks on blinds.
ATs features the blocker, has nuts fd, so it's pretty fine to shove. Flat would just induce multiway pot with us being OOP..
I would shove here with almost all suited aces, 44-TT pairs, ATo-AKo, KQs
