Gameflow is obviously super important so.... How important is it to establish a 3bet/4bet dynamic and to keep it going (both sngs and cash)?
How early?
I would think that in bloated pots the mistakes people can make are larger but is there a point where stack sizes are such that either the 4bet/5bet/6bet(**7bet/8bet/9bet) game is just getting too out of hand that you'd prefer to go back to small ball or is that even possible once stacks are deep?

The idea of "creating a 3bet and 4bet dynamic" is totally retarded. You don't just 3bet bluff for the sake of creating a dynamic. You're anticipating making adjustments when you don't know how he's going to adjust if at all.
However, I think most players don't 3bet enough at all in hu cash. The reason is that there are two basic things that cash players do that would encourage you to 3bet a shitload as a counter. 1) Raising 90%+ buttons and 2) folding to 3bets over 70% of the time. 3betting a player like this is insanely profitable, and if you can figure out how they like to play in position (i.e. do they like to raise flops with their nut hands, do they like to slowplay, do they fold to cbets, do they fold to double barrels, do they fold to triple barrels? etc) then you can basically steamroll the shit out of them.
