This can be rough if they have position on you particularly if their VPIP is high, but in a full nine handed game this is a pretty suicidal betting style.

There's three options that I see:

1. Wait for the goods.

2. Figure out his VPIP and basically distill down the cards he's pushing with. If he's pushing with K10s/QJs and on up and then figure out when you got a high percentage against him and gamble a bit. If you win or split you're going to send a strong message to fuck off and he's likely not going to keep pushing on you with junk.

3. If he's intelligent about this strategy he might push with shit or push with middle pair or top pair weaker kicker.. but he's likely not to call wtih it. So play back at him and don't give him two ways to win the hand, push first. You'll be able to know in a few orbits of not pushing if he's the gambler type who is going to call an all in with shit just like he'll push with shit, or if he's just aggressive and really doesn't want calls when he pushes.
