Default Some advice for playing very deep

I am a cash game player by trade and as such have no problem playing 100 bb+ deep and i also used to play alot of stts early in my poker life so have a good strategy and ok icm knowledge. But obviously in a cash game i dont mind raising wider hands in position and blind stealing even tho they are small in relation, since the tourney i am playing i will be 250bb deep i think blind stealing is not needed. But what hands do you think become worth more barring SC's small pp etc? suited one gappers etc? should i be playing these from any position? not looking for a right or wrong answer just some views would be very much apprecaited as im sure you guys have played this deep more often than me and know how to accumulate.

ill give you brief overview of structure

starting chips-5000

1st level- 10/20
2nd level- 15/30
3rd level- 25/50

30 minute blinds

I play implied odds gambles.

I play in position, against any raiser that I think plays poorly. As long as stacks are really deep ie > 30x the initial raise, I will probably play any two cards against anyone at the table that I think I am better than and I have position on in the hand. As long as the stacks are > 20x the initial raise I will play any suited cards and any ace. As long as the stacks are > 10x the initial raise I will play any pocket pair. Short story, if the stacks are 30 times the inital raise, you can probably play any two cards profitably against a player you are better than from position.

Out of position, or when I am first to act, I play pretty tight with deep stacks. I raise for value, something like 5% from UTG to something like 25% on the button.

so you advocate playing alot of hands for a raise from the CO and button etc if i am able to get away from marginal hands post flop? Does the meta game i get from people thinking i raise alot of hands and play alot of pots get me paid on my big hands pre-flop and post-flop?

Are you raising and C-betting alot?

Point of order: one of the ways you are better than other players is that you *don't* call with any two cards. Seriously, you need to know that the raiser is going to give you half his stack with air every time you hit two pair (or I guess that you can push him off of anything other than the stone cold nuts) to make this profitable.
