Calling/Pushing range v super aggro

Played a £25 speed tourney in the early hours and had a player whose pre flop action from the opening hand was push or fold and they played a lot of hands.  Showed down with Ax, Kx and Qx hands but I expect range to be wider.  Almost no hands were played by making a standard raise pre and when those hands were played they tended to weak.

I was wondering what sort of calling or pushing range should be against a player like this?

It was a very frustrating game.

    Kinda need to know what stage of the tournament this is at, blinds, stack sizes etc etc.

    starting stacks at 2000 chips.  First hand they were all in and that was how it continued.

    Played these ppl before. It is frustrating but you just have to be patient. I would call with A10+ and PP's 99+. Maybe add KQ in there. Yes its frustrating if you end up dominated or lose with the best hand but its also a great chance to gather a lot of chips to set you up.

    As for the weak bets. Dont try and bluff as they will call down with any two cards. Just value bet wider, as far as any pair on the board. If they play back then let go your weak hands.

    In the very first level, despite it being a speedy, I'd be looking at 1010+ and AQs+.

    At the lower levels I think you can definatley widen that range. In my experience.
