No, but villain has been minraising -10x raising randomly it seems. Every raise is a different amount.

I'd try and find out what those different size raises mean, although by the looks of it he may just be playing totally crazy and they might mean nothing really.

I would make a 4x-5x reraise preflop to around 21-25 or so, being oop against this maniac, I would want to make the pot big enough preflop to where he knows were going to be playing for stacks for sure, and set up the postflop betting where you can shove any flop without overbetting it if he calls. As played you have invested slightly less than 1/3 of your stack preflop, if you get the other 2/3 of it in now and he calls with any pair (99,QQ,1010 for example) you'll be a 3 to 1 dog. You'll still be a 3 to 1 dog if you raise more preflop, (say to 23) and he calls on the flop with a pair, but you'll be risking your remaining $33 to win $46, instead of risking $39 to win $34. Just my 2 cents.
