Beyond that, I'm not really sure on specifics. General guidelines are as you would play most spots, except that you may limp to trap more often on the button than you would otherwise. And below a certain stack depth you might want to trap your biggest pairs as calls from the BB as well.
At 40BB, 3-bets should consist of a mix of value hands you're comfortable calling off to a 4-bet, bluffs with some kind of good blocker, and a little bit of medium suited-connector hands for board coverage. At 20BB you can pretty much always profitably rip any pair or ace, though it's probably not the most profitable line with your best hands. (Open ripping should be for hands that has solid equity but aren't in great shape as a raise/call-- 22, A5o, that sort of thing.) From the BB, you can jam over a lot of limps or opens with 20BB with those hands, and sometimes other broadway hands and occasional medium-big suited connectors. At 10BB you're just open shoving anything reasonably playable.
I think.
(I'm playing a heads-up tournament tomorrow with no ante, so I'm actually trying to figure out where and how it's appropriate to tighten up my ranges by then.)
