I sat down at a (thankfully) low 5+1 S&G today and the guy to my immediate left re-raised EVERY SINGLE HAND I played. He also proudly announced "Re-Raise" each time.

Between a combination of tilt (I admit) and the obvious problems with the betting obstruction I busted out at 100/200

Anyone with any pearls of wisdom? At a ring table i would have just left of course.

If you think he is just doing it to piss you off because he thinks you will fold, then take a stand on a hand because he can't have a better hand everytime. Posting some of the hands it happened could provide more insight.

If you have played enough SNG's, this will happen from time to time...It is a bit aggravating, since I like to TRY and make an impact at the table (especially in the early going)...This is a situation that clearly dictates you must change your style somewhat, and just wait for a super premium hand...

Have tons of patience, and kick his ass....If he draws out on you, Oh well---That's what is so great about SNG's---play 2 or 3 more, and you have forgotten about this dope!!

The second I pick up on him doing this I am re-re-raising all-in with any decent hand, meaning 99+ and AQ+. I don't raise hands worse than that anyway unless stealing (which I wouldn't be doing with him on my left), so basically I'll be all-in the next hand I play.

This would probably be the third hand I played against him, first time I'd fold anything below QQ and AK, second time I'd go "Hmmm...." and fold (hey, it could be a coincidence), third time is the charm. I don't mind the risk since I'd rather bust out than be bullied, since being bullied just means you just bust out slower (thus losing more money than if you bust quick). Besides, if he calls I'm also likely to both double up and get rid of an annoying opponent.

I remember something like this from one of my earlier SnG's. I just won a big MTT so I thought, 'What the hell, I'm gonna play in a 109s.' I had a prepetual reraiser sitting to my left. He wasn't just reraising me, he was doing it to everybody. Its like he had to have the last word preflop every time.

After waiting around patiently I picked up A[h]K[h] and put out a decent raise; low and behold he reraised the minimum. I came back over the top and pushed all in. He called with T[h]6[h] and hit a 6. That was the last time I tried a 109s.
