Dealing with a re-raiser...

...an annoying almost laugh out loud re-raiser!!!

I guess the villain (sat to my left) must have a good read on me and around three quarters of my preflop bets (4 or 5x fyi) is met with a big reraise from villain. In or out of position regardless he would lead out the flop or reraise my c-bet.

Not experienced serial aggression like this before, and I quickly felt like an atm machine, so left the table but continued to watch from the rail and although villain only played for another 20 mins he didnt appear to be giving anyone else the same level of grief, mind you on reflection no-one else was much raising pre anyway.

However, advice on how to deal with players continually coming over the top please.

    Table selection FTW, if no other tables (this should be impossible) just tighten up and make hay.

    Prob move tables, there should be easier targets at 4Nl

    Things you can do to adjust
    tighten your opening range, widen your continuing range to 3bets
    open for less, this leaves more room for manouver postflop if he adjusts his 3bet size, even if not you lose less if you fold
    4bet bluff pre, or call and bluffraise flops

    well depends exactly how bad he is, but if hes that bad we can never bluff him I would be getting it in about 95% of my opening range

    It may be best to just stand up and play another table. No shame in this.

    stop raising and wait for a hand to take him down )
    Other than you can fire back but he may have a hand _(

    Or just move table where it's a bit more comfortable
