LHE strategy for playing auto raisers

I was just in a 15/30 LHE game where one player raised preflop with anything better than 89 offsuit. If anyone raised ahead of him, he would reraise, and if anyone reraised him, he would reraise again. His variance was huge but he walked away from the table with an extra 30 BB in the 90 or so hands I saw him play. (One of his wins was him donking me for 10 BB when I had AA and he had 48 offsuit and made a straight, but that might be beside the point.) I did okay, coming out ahead about 5 BB over 92 hands, but it bugs me that he did so much better while playing like an utter moron. It might be noteworthy that his stack was about 100 BB when he started and he could likely afford to play like that, while most of his opponents couldn't.

To make a long story short now that it's too late, are there any comments on proper strategy for playing against guys like this? (Note that, on this site, there is no cap on the number of reraises you can make, so it's possible to go all in with 50 BB and have this idiot donk you.)

i think that when your playing someone like this you should play very tight. you should only reraise him with a monster like Q's K's or A's. and you should call down when you hit 2nd pair or better

Play the top 15% of hands and bludgeon him senseless for value pre & postflop. Re-raising him with just QQ+ is WAY too nitty. And don't just call down with 2nd pair, value bet/raise the hell out of it.

You'll be dead soon unless you change tables

Very often, and if you're paying attention, ATC right back at 'em work, because they are well aware that they've been figured out, and perhaps a challenger has better than the trash they are raising with. I come across this sometimes, and the idiot will respect the fact that I'm in the hand, much less a raise.
