Well, you haven't given much about his style. If he's anything like the standard aggro donks you see online, you could approach it in two ways. If you want to play at reduced variance, just buy in short, try to get a seat to his right and just sandbag him to death, Slotboom-style. If you want to really go after his stack, max buy on his left, and reraise to isolate in position with a wider range of hands than you would normally. For the second option, you'll need to be pretty comfortable with reading flop textures and be prepared to call down pot size bets light. The variance is higher, but the reward is greater. Also, it's more fun if you like a challenge, because you'll inevitably face some tricky situations.
Be aware of short stacking limpers in front of this player, as they may be playing the first approach, meaning that there is a danger of being trapped in the middle for multiple bets.

I don't play on stars much, but wouldn't mind a heads up next time this guy is in town.

She wont let me play on her account. He/she plays very well post flop and if you repot him get ready to get all your chips in. I saw him/her get rerasied twice in about 15 mins and then he potted both times. IMO, from what Ive seen everone is scared to bet in that game unless they have the nuts or close to it, and ofcourse big draws. No, to beat him I think you got to gamboooollll big he /she isnt folding. But Ive seen him play at least 30 times and he/she is always up well over 500 or 600.
