[MaxRaises]

Ok, I'm sitting shorthanded at a $0.50/$1.00 PLO game on Stars when all of a sudden amichaiKK sits down with $37 (short-buy). I was about to leave the table - because I know amichaiKK is a lot better than I am - when he says "im on tilt...pot every time pf" (meaning he is going to raise/re-raise the pot every time preflop).

What is our range here? I have two interesting hands below where in the first hand I got him all in preflop with AAxx and he ended up hitting two pair on the flop and doubling up. The VERY NEXT HAND I pretty much stack him when I hit my ace high flush on a paired board (figured there was less than a 25% chance he had a boat).

Funny side note - amichaiKK ended up playing some donk HU when amichai had like $4 left after I took most of it... ami kept potting/re-potting preflop and donk basically blinded away 40BB to him.
