Default Very deep 5/10 overpair

I really suck with super deep stacks. When I started playing nl cash it took me a while to learn to play 100bb stacks (I'm a tournament donkey). Then eventually I got comfortable playing 200bb, but never had much experience playing 400bb deep cause at 2/4nl most people run away after winning a few buy ins. Now at 5/10 I expect to have to play deeper I suppose. Here is probably my first confrontation with very deep stacks.

The villain in this hand seems to be a good multi tabler. He is probably more tricky and aggressive than most, although I don't recall how he got his stack. I don't have a very specific read on him. My table image is sort of LAG ish, but not in a bad way I guess. Anyway, this hand really just confused me and I wasn't sure when to put in a raise if ever.
