I would not steal every time... simply because people will pick up on this and start not only defending more but reraising often. If you are risking 600 to win 300, you must be successful 2/3 times to come out even, 3/4 to come out ahead. I'd be more likely to steal 2/3 times... I wanna give people the impression that I can fold trash from this position even if its folded around to me.

Defending against steals: Late in the tourny, you don't wanna get involved HU out of position with marginal holdings (especially if blinds are high compare to chip stacks. Mid game, Im reraising with any hand I'd normally open with from MP or later (including hands such as Q10s, KJo, J10s, small PPs) and folding other hands....only occassionally calling. I'll still fold trash, unless Im against a player who raises each and every time, in which case Im likely playing back 1/2 times simply to slow him down
