What's the max amount raw liver one should eat to avoid getting sick?

No more than 2 pounds on any one day, depending on your size.  Also, probably no more than 8 pounds a week, again, depending on your size.  Those are pretty absolute upper limits.  95% of humans would be overdosing at half those levels, if they did it for more than a week or two in a row.

I personally cannot consume nearly that amount in a given day and im pretty big.

I love raw bison liver, when Coatue mentions "get sick" what would this mean, iron over dose??

Yes, an overload of nutrients, be they iron, copper, etc. Your body will usually try to flush them out one way or another; diarrhea or vomiting .
