As a default what kind of hands should I be raising here with the intention of getting it in with the blinds? and how does my stack size effect this range?

you should not have a r/f range in this spot vs the shortstacks. i'd open ~89s+ JTo+ Ax 22+ broadways. we have to fold a ton of that vs the other bigstack because of ICM. prolly JJ+ to get it in.
