As I said in the title, this guy has been losing pot after pot, and I don't have any reason to believe his pre-flop aggression is anything but recklessness. I went ahead and just put him all-in hoping he didn't have something lame like J7.

When I used to play NL, I picked these guys off mercilessly, but now that I'm primarily playing limit, I'm curious how other people deal with them.

 I lost 11$ yesterday in a similar situation, but I got it back 10 minutes later with TPTK on a scary board. People like that are unlikely to quit after winning a big pot, and you got position on him. I don't think you can give up on the flop.
The strengh of a hero is defined by the weakness of his villains.
