RANT, help me adjust vs 3betting button clicking maniac

Hey guys, in the midstakes games i play in, theres a couple villains that are really giving me a hard time

villain i ended up losing 3/4 buy ins 2 last night, and its been on my mind all day so far.

This guy just 3bets me. Nonstop. He doesnt give a sh+it about positional ranges, where im opening from, or "seemingly" the strength of the cards he holds vs my ranges. When I flat, he just barrels and makes it really hard on me.

Theres a couple guys like this in my player pool. I hate them with a passion. I want to crush them. Is anyone willing to help?

I have a few ideas.

Id like to post my stats vs this villain, blank out his sn of course, and maybe we can dissect his stats and come up with counter strategies (is this ok?) idk obv dont want to do anything unethical but think it should be fine as long as we keep villain completely annoynmous... If not in a public forum, then maybe done via pm or skype? (Want to make sure this is done ethically... this is not Nam, there are rules :)

If thats asking 2 much...How should I generally go about adjusting?

He runs overall pretty tag at 25/19 or smth, with a 13% overall 3b. This is already pretty hi, but vs me he numbers HAVE to be higher, In my PT4 i dont know how to filter by specfic villain. 

Not to turn this into a bbv post, but he turned over 22 on 2 Q 9/ K/x where i open button with k10s, he 3bs small blind and i called him down. so like, if hes 3betting me with hands like that, hes gotta be way 2 wide here right? 

I do know hes playing a linear type strategy, 3betting all pocket pairs, all broadways, havent seen suited connectors much turned over, but i cant rule it out.

so im struggling on how to adjust, and what the best adjustment to make is. ideas ive been tossing around are to, a) tighten up my pf ranges when hes on my left B) call wider ip, float more boards and try and take away more pots on later streets

 c) 4b more often. so im really torn as far as what hands i need to be 4betting. I generally play a mostly polarized 3b game where i mix in random ax/kx blocker suited type 3bets, and usually just get 100bb in pre flop with ak+ qq+

What would be the botton of your 4b/ gii range vs a guy like this. Do i need to just start piling some 100bb stacks vs this guy and see what kind of hands hes willing to play for stacks with?  I would really like some help optimally constructing some ranges, and strategies to counter this type of play.

Will continue to monitor this thread, posting as much information, hh, stats, etc. Guess most of the people in this forum have played/battled w guys like this 2 and it can be helpful for more than just me.

Reg in my 200/400nl games 3bets me way to much, and barrels alot. 

I dont want this happening anymore. 

I vow to by all means possible find the best way to adjust and exploit his strategy and win as much money as humanly possible.

I ask for help from the RIO community.
