Default Preflop play deepstacked

Let's say we are 250 BB deep, villain is a standard TAG and he covers. We are holding a premium hand like QQ+/AK. We have position on him and he opens for a 4 BB standard raise. Standard re-raise with 100 BB deep would be about 10 BB more to give him bad odds to call with small PP/SC.
How do we adjust our preflop raises regarding the stack sizes? Is it reasonable to re-raise to lets say 22 BB more to protect our stack or do you think it is more about post-flop play with such deep stacks?

No, don't raise to 22BB (unless villain will still call with scs). You have position, use it for pot control if the board gets tricky.

With QQ-AA you want him to call your raise, and you lose value if you make him fold hands you are ahead of.
