I have this loose theory that some hands that are solid 3 bets preflop at shorter stack sizes in the small blind should become calls as stacks get deeper. This is because of the threat of losing a lot of big blinds on one hand.
I think the most obvious of these hands are the middle pocket pairs. At short stack depths, these hands are easy shoves. At medium stack depths, I still like 3 betting these hands. At deeper stack depths, I'll call these hands in order to avoid a preflop raising war.
The idea is not limited to the medium pocket pairs however. I also think that some hands that are folds at shorter stack depths should be calls at and above certain stack depths. For example, I never call with 98s in the small blind 100 big blinds deep, but if the stacks are 200 big blinds deep then I think 98s is a clear call.
Also, this:

Against bad players there are tons of hands that are worth calls but can't be turned into bluffs so not having a cold call range is complete nonsense.
