Ok, guess I have time to cover off one angle of this thing - the structure of the game.

First off I wouldn't even open my mouth and discuss the structure further. The more successful you become in this game the more the people you play with will find it unfun to invite you. It's imperative here to keep the fish happy. One way to do that is to shrug and tell them you can play whatever rules or structure they like and then use your superior general poker skills and poker analytical skills to adjust to that game better than they all do. If you argue strongly for a 100bb structure, get your way and make a killing - you might lose friends or at the very least invites to the home games because you're just too good for it to be fun for them to play with you. If you're the one hosting they might just give up attending which accomplishes the same thing.

One basic thing that stands out to me in this situation is how it is the exact opposite of a tournament. As a tournament progresses people get shorter and shorter stacks relative to the blinds, which requires the play to change.

In this situation as time goes on stacks get larger and larger. This suggests the exact same type of change only in reverse. Initially you want to play the types of hands and situations that you would play in the later stages of a tournament when the stacks become shallow - the TPTK making hands and be prepared to gamble it up. There's only so much money to be lost or won on each hand. This will help your image. Whenever you're short effective versus your opponent play correctly for a short stack - gamble it up and try to build a big stack, thinking little of the buyin that you risk.

Note the bit about being short effective versus your opponent. Maybe everyone at the table is up to 100bb except one opponent sitting at 20bb - if you end up headsup against that opponent, put on your gambling hat and go to the races.

When stacks get bigger you start to play more tight as per normal early stage tournament or normal cash play. You will still have the occasional hand against a short stacker during which you gamble it up which leads to this structurally interesting situation: You develop an image as a gambler when the risk is small, and take advantage of that image when the stacks are big.

Even if you play absolutely solid like a rock when stacks are deep your opponents may remember crazy plays you made earlier in the evening when it was correct to play crazy and start to think you could have bet/raised on bluffs with air and be more inclined to pay you off when you hold the nuts.
