Default To the right of a super-aggressive telegrapher

The other day, I was playing in a 3/5 200NL game with a guy that would grab the chips he's planning to bet with before I acted. He's also a super-aggressive player where his tendencies were:

9% - raise 6x BB (usually very good hands)
60% - raise 3-4x BB (mediocre hands)
30% - call BB (or call earlier raiser) with his worst hands.
1% - fold (if he's gotta pee)

I positioned myself to his right so that when he raised 3-4x BB and I had a very good hand (AA-TT, AK) I would call and when he raised and 4 other people would call him as if they were limping cause they know he always raises, I would raise close to the pot size to win the hand pre-flop.

My question is what hands would you call/re-raise or call/call with in this situation in general. Assume:
- Middle position
- You know super-aggressive telegrapher is going to raise to 4xBB
- You expect 4 players to call his raise.

P.S. After I pulled this move about 3 times, he eventually got gunshy and started limping 80% of hands.

I have nothing to say other than I really wish I was in your seat. Being to the right of a player like this in a short capped buy-in NL game + limp-reraising = free money.

It was a very happy day. The better news is that I know when he will be back.
