What adjustments become necessary when you become super deep stacked in cash? There have been a number of times in the last week in which I've stacked opponents and ended up on NL$200 with a $500 stack. Does that change your play significantly? Are you more or less inclined to play a given hand? Do you look for a wide range to play against other deep-stacked opponents, since your implied odds are much larger?
At one table, I had a player to my immediate left double through someone else with QQ to end up with roughly the same size stack I had. He called every bet I made preflop from then on, presumably looking for a shot at taking my 2.5 buyin stack. After a few orbits, I recognized what he was doing and left the table to limit the exposure his position created for me. It certainly made me think that if I had the advantage of position, it might be a good reason to play exactly the way he was playing. Thoughts?

Yes you should be looking for options to stack the other big stack. Preflop matters less, because the implied odds are more.
Think about it as this:
Both players have 1000000000000 stacks. BB is 1. You can call any standard preflop bet with any hole cards you get.
Especially play big pot cards; Axs, connectors, 1 and gappers.
And you can start 3-betting a lot more preflop. Preflop betting sets the betting amount postflop. When stacks are deep, you can play bigger postflop...and you have to, to win villains big stack.
There's a lot more to deep stack playing what I don't know, but others will......but there are the basics.

So do you avoid (i.e. change tables) being out of position against another player with a greater than 2 buyin stack?

I would only move if I think he has a post-flop skill advantage or he is so aggressive that it makes me adjust my A game at the table. Otherwise, let's play some pokah.

I play a wider range in position vs. other deep stacks. If I'm to the right of another deep-stacked player who is solid and aggressive, I usually leave the table, unless there are fish to my right to exploit.

I think you were in a good spot, in a way.
You know he's trying to exploit you by flopping big and playing a monster pot. He's playing for stacks, and you're not.
If he doesn't realize that, you have an advantage.
