Is my raise just burning money? Should I be shipping? Big stack is a very strong 8% reg. Others donkeys.
I think both shipping and raising are fine, shipping is unexploitable anyway. So it depends on game dynamic/reads/history/.. for me
i HATE raising here. im shipping for max FE. and i think ATo for a ship is pretty marginal with your good stack. i think AJ+ for a shove is fine. but wiz will tell you if im right or not
shoving looks fine to me but i don´t like the raise against a strong bigstack... but viewer is right: additional reeds would be nice 
e.g. there are quite some strong regs who won´t reshove a whole lot here
that was my thinking: in a reg vs reg situation, he must fear that sometimes my raise is a trap and won't automatically reshove with ATC just for FE.
That said, reads would be ideal.

this is true except he would reshove more hands that he would have folded to a shove because of the extra FE he gains in case you arent trapping here. (and with your starting stack the chances of a trap reduce imo)

Yeah that's why this is so dependant on regular and game dynamic.. vs some tighter regs I actualy prefer the raise/fold..
You got some really good advice here already, nothing I could add.
Which line is best here really depends on how the Blinds are reshoving you.
